The story is mostly unrelated to Neverwinter Nights and follows the journey of an orphaned adventurer investigating a group of mysterious artifacts known as 'silver shards' and their connection to an ancient, evil spirit known as the King of Shadows. Neverwinter Nights 2 is set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting-in and around the city of Neverwinter. They may gain the assistance of additional party members, and they eventually acquire a keep that can be used as a base of operations.

Players create player characters to represent themselves in the game, using the same character creation rules as found in the Dungeons & Dragons game. Neverwinter Nights 2 utilizes an adaptation of the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition rules. It is the second installment in the Neverwinter Nights series and is the sequel to BioWare's Neverwinter Nights, based on the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy tabletop role-playing game. Neverwinter Nights 2 is a role-playing video game developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Atari Interactive.
