Neverwinter Nights

[Misty]

It caught my eye when I was at the mall today.

There's the Diamond Edition of this; which includes everything up to the current expansion--right before NW2. It's about $20, so there's no hurting my purse here.

I hear a lot of great things about it. The cream of this is the campaign editor, which is supposed to be very, very powerful. Kind of like RPG Maker--only you make games based in a Dungeons and Dragons universe. I'm not familiar with D&D, but I do know a thing or two about old adventure games that people used to play back in the 80s and early 90s

I had thoughts about picking it up when it was first released when I read about its features, but for various reasons I never got around to it. Now, it's available in all its glory--expansions and all---for $20. You think I should go for it? Have any of you experienced this before?

Never tried it. Not into Dungeons and Dragons.

Re: Neverwinter Nights

It's ok, Baulders Gate is much, much, better though

Re: Neverwinter Nights

Played it, and found it extremely boring. =(

Re: Neverwinter Nights

What system is it for? PS2, X-box, PC, etc.

The campaign editor may be the one reason I get this.

Re: Neverwinter Nights

I found NWN boring...But if you want a game experience that never ends (user created campaigns and such), and like that type of game...NWN is slick.

But I found it boring.

Re: Neverwinter Nights

I found it slow.

Like, "watching Knights of the Round go off 4 times on Emerald Weapon inbetween every other action taken" slow.
Or "PS1 Road Rash loading times" slow.

It just takes a really long time to do anything.

That was my experience anyway.

Re: Neverwinter Nights

I love NWN, now he original campaign was kinda crappy but you HAVE to play the Shadows of the Underdark Expansion, which is a pretty awesome campaign. And there are a ton of really good user made modules and persistent worlds.

The Diamond version comes with all of the expansions and a few premium modules too, if it is only $20, GET IT!

I'm a BARD!

and because of this, I shall sing my statement.

Love is a strong word, but I really really really like this ga-ame
and now that I own it, I don't ever wan't to put it dow-own
I played it around, and now I need a paaa-rty
Love is a strong word, but I really really really do like it.

Yeah, so in a week or two, anyone up for going through the story?

Re: Neverwinter Nights

oops, its Hordes of the Underdark, the first expansion is Shadows of Undrentide, which is also better than the original campaign.

NWN2 would be better if they actually had playtested it. And if the editor worked...

The first one does play a little slower than most console games, but if you like D&D it's a great game, well worth the $20. And the editor is pretty decent, too.

Re: Neverwinter Nights

I've only had a few bugs with it, but I hear the launch was pretty horrible.

Re: Neverwinter Nights

Well, I got it ^_^

Kinda Diablo-eque in its presentation, which I think is pretty cool since I like Diablo. The main reason why I took such interest in this was because of the Aurora NWN Toolset. I don't think I would have gotten this had it not been for that, since I like creating things.

I don't know if I'm going to get #2. I think NWM is good enough for me

Re: Neverwinter Nights

You may want to eventually get 2, since they added an assload of subraces and the Planetouched, as well as warlocks. My first character with it was a tiefling warlock .
