    Quandary have reviewed Hordes of the Underdark without rating it. Here's a clip:

    So I'm happy to say that they are much improved in Underdark, and on this journey you can take two companions along rather than one. As well as a couple of new faces (I'll leave you to discover who) once again you will meet up with Tomi, Linu, Sharwyn, Daelin, Aribeth and Deekin and not only do they have better AI, and more versatility but they also have more personality so they come much more to life. Because they are more intelligent they are less likely to die and they will change weapons to suit the combat situation and spontaneously chat to you or to each other. This latter addition really worked for me. Deekin's ponderings over what to call his next tale, or Linu's expectations that songs would be written about her exploits, really add to their characters. And so did Linu and Daelin's discussion of Orcish hygiene. All these little 'incidental' conversations make the characters feel like 'real' companions and invite you to care a lot more about them than you do in the previous games.
