Hey… like 10 mins ago I bought a game called Neverwinter Nights. Does anybody play it? if so tell me how you like it and if it is worth my money. I am installing it right now. But I can still return it.:trout:
I know David plays it and apparently he is addicted to it…
Yep…

Check out his title too…lol.
I absolutely love the game. As if the module which comes with the game weren’t good enough they provide, in the retail package, the full toolset they’ve used to make the game. Scripting for the toolset is entirely in C (but if you’ve got a basis in Action Script the learning curve on C is tolerable)
I have now completed a 12th century Welsh style Mott and Bailey, surounding area, and almost a complete mock up of Everlund.
There are some who will not like the game. If you’ve played Diablo II and a game called Baldors Gate, and you liked the former, but not the latter, then you might not like Neverwinter. Certainly it can be played as a “hack and slash” type game, but it excells in the area of role playing.
(For those truely technical geeks, this should make you drool: Online, multiplayer, persistant worlds, with portal linkage between servers, IN GAME. In other words, you’re character is walking along in the woods in one server, comes across portal. Stepping into the portal, and is transported to the exit of that portal in another server running a wholey different campaign.)
Yeah… I like it a lot.
Yeah i was talking to you on aim a while back and you semd to liek it. That is why i bought it lol. Sounds pretty cool. Imma start playing it right now.
Some good (non-spoiler) hints for the game.
Conversations are often modified, in content, depending upon stats of your character. So, if your Charisma, or Intelligence or something is too low, you may not see a thread in a conversation that you would normaly see.
This lends the game to the idea that you may need to go through it with a couple of different characters if you want to play out every quest in the game.
Second thing I’ve noticed about conversations is that often a section of plot, where you are stuck, is resolved through a thread of a conversation that you may not have yet replied to. So if you find a place where you simply cannot advance in the game, recheck important figures that you’re having conversations with to make sure you didn’t miss something. Also check the journal often, it also will lead you to sections you may not have discovered yet.
Best character I’ve found to start the game with is a Ranger. Get dual weapon skills quickly, and keep that animal companion around as often as possible.
The ease with which the first chapters quests are layed out is as so.
Peninsula, Beggar’s Nest, Blacklake, and lastly the Docks.
