Unmatched Gaming
Neverwinter Nights (NWN)
stands alone amidst a rubble-strewn field of fantasy games. There are
too many aspects to NWN to reveal in a simple review, but I must lay out
the basics to aid my fellow gamers!
Some general warnings and
guidelines for prospective buyers:
- NWN is huge. It is
time-consuming. If you want to have fun expect to spend a lot of time
doing it. My friend bought the game at my recommendation and he has
recently forgotten his girlfriend's name.
- There is a lot of
dialogue and reading in NWN. There are books about the history of the
world and everything in between. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of
characters in the world to interact with. If you don't like reading or
story development (i.e. you prefer action) then avoid NWN like the
finger of death.
- NWN is Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) in
electronic format. If you don't like magic, monsters, and swords then
don't bother. Your character in the game will earn points and increase
in power, requiring you to manage his skills and abilities - if you
don't like managing stats and inventory then don't bother.
The
storyline is immersive. This Diamond Edition comes with so much game
it's hard to explain. The original campaign alone is vast - I mean VAST.
The Diamond edition comes with the original campaign and two expansion
packs (both like the original campaign in size and scope); in addition,
the Diamond gives you three premium modules (official add-on adventures)
and several smaller adventure packs. For the price you CANNOT find a
better deal - if this is your style of game.
Technical notes:
your computer should exceed the recommendations on the box. The game
runs good at those specs, but the engine is beautiful if your hardware
can support it. Dynamic lights, environment shadows, surround system,
etc - all the technical goodies to make the world of NWN come alive.
Update your video and audio drivers for compatibility; and follow the
guidelines from the publisher about installing the patches. The patches
add some great features to the game.
Take care
Still One Of The Best
This game is almost 4 years
old - I got it the day it came out, and I'm still playing and enjoying
it a lot. The story here is not quite as good as in Bioware's Baldur's
Gate series, but its still better than almost anything else out there.
And the real plus is the fan-made content - there are literally hundreds
of downloadable adventure "modules" for this game, some of them truly
excellent. To the guy who complained about the portraits, I haven't used
them in years - there are many very fine ones you can download for
free.
There is an issue with this Diamond package - Atari, the
producer (not Bioware) altered the main program with some sort of copy
protection scheme, which screws it up. But all you have to do is run the
update program (included on the DVD), and all is well - the correct
file is downloaded and installed. If that worries you, or you don't have
a DVD drive, or just want a printed manual, get the Platinum version
instead - you can get the "Kingmaker" modules later. But don't miss NWN -
this is a really great game!
Amazing
game, great package!
This game is incredible!
The
original game is truely a classic.
Quick story outline: The city
of Neverwinter is falling under seige from, not a person, but a
disease. You must find the cure by battling your way through the streets
of Neverwinter and defeating your foes. Very open-ended game lets you
choose which direction you want to take next.
Undrentide Story:
Your mentor has had some very important, magical artifacts stolen from
him. In your quest to return them safely, a foe has found a way to use
one of the artifacts to raise the ancient city of Undrentide back to the
skies.
Underdark Story: A seige of the City of Waterdeep has
come from below. All manners of ungodly creatures come up from the
Underdark and you must stop it all. Amazingly open-ended, you can choose
up to 4 different sub-missions once you're there, and you only get to
do three before the final battle happens. A great closure to a wonderful
epic.
The expansions both are incredible addons to the orginal
game, allowing a completely new story to follow, and totally new
classes, feats, skills, and levels that act to enhance your control over
the character. The replayability of this game is very high, as you can
choose hundreds of combinations of classes, feats, weapon
specializations, every aspect of the game and character development is
in your hands.
Warning: To those hoping to pick up, easily learn a
game, and play it will be disappointed. A player must make very precise
decisions on character development to get the most out of the
character. But if you are; 1) familiar with D&D; 2) have played
other D&D games, like Icewind Dale or Baldur's Gate; 3) really want
to sit down and learn the vast things to learn about the game, then you
are in for a huge treat that will be played over and over.
A true
gem!
