Neverwinter Nights

Introduction Neverwinter Nights is destined to be the biggest free-time absorbing black hole in my entire PC games collection. Leaving aside the finer details for a moment, there is a huge single-player campaign that has already sucked up many hours of my time, and yet I am only two thirds through the second chapter, with more chapters yet to come. Added to that is a multi-player adventure provided with the game. The real lasting value of the game shines through, however, with the inclusion of a full-blown adventure toolkit, allowing fans of the game around the world to create their own masterpieces and share them with others. The potential gameplay time is ...  Read the complete review

Neverwinter Nights is the latest RPG to come from the masters of RPG that are Bioware... Well, I haven't actually played any of their other RPGs(English ones anyway) before, to be honest with you - Neverwinter Nights is the first RPG that I've decided to play. It is based upon "Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition rules" , but do not let that intimidate you or scare you off! There is no turn-based combat here! Bioware have cleverly designed a real-time system that uses the D&D rules without you even knowing it! There is no frantic hacking and slashing to be found either - you click on the enemy you want to hit, and your character will do so until it is ...  Read the complete review

Baldurs Gate, Baldurs Gate 2, Silver, Dungeon Siege, the Might and Magic Series, to name but a few of the great role playing games of PC history. These are all blown away in the glory and success of Neverwinter Nights. It just reeks of quality, imagination, effort and most of all it is there to take away precious sleeping time! Buying the game cost me £30.00, because I'm a cardholder at Game, but it will have come down to about that by now as I got mine the week it came out. It is a three CD game altogether, requiring all three for installation. The installation took a good 10 minutes, as my computer only just fits the requirements for the game.

Neverwinter Nights (NWN), is a great game in its own right... but it's far from perfect. If you have played previous D&D and AD&D Bioware games, you will need to enter this game with an open mind as it's nothing .... nothing at all like what you are going to be used to. NWN has 2 modes which are totally different, the first is single player which IMHO is a great let down. Instead of the usual party you control from previous Bioware D&D games you are stuck with just one character, although you are able to hire a "henchman" it does take away a great deal of game play as you have very, very minimal control over this henchman, in fact you have ...  Read the complete review

Neverwinter Nights allows you to build your own worlds and let up to 64 people play it. This is a huge part of the game weather your a player or game designer. Theres a great feeling when you have people playing your module on the internet so heres some tips for creation. 1) Saving Always save your module every change you make. The module toolset is quite buggy and does crash quite often. Some people dont get any errors and some crash every five minutes The point is that the toolset is unstable so take care not to loose your work. Its also worth mentioning that you should also not overwrite your previous saves - make multiple copies. It may ...  Read the complete review
