Neverwinter Nights 2 has received a long-overdue Enhanced Edition remaster, and what better time to revisit the game’s memorable cast of companions? Among them is Sand, an elven potion-seller and mage who initially sets a negative tone for his interactions with the player. Upon visiting Uncle’s tavern, Sand makes a snide comment about the group, setting the stage for his prickly demeanor throughout the game.
Despite this, once he joins the party, Sand proves to be a reliable ally whose gruff attitude reveals concern for the party rather than disdain. He becomes an invaluable companion, offering a perfect blend of sass and loyalty – much like an annoyed but ultimately trusted uncle. As the Enhanced Edition hits shelves, it’s time to reevaluate Sand’s place in the hearts (and minds) of Neverwinter Nights 2 fans.
