In Baldur's Gate you have a party with multiple characters but Neverwinter is much more of a return to the pen and paper style in that you have a party of one character.
It is more traditional and actually does flow into multiplayer better. You are the character you play! Another aspect Bioware has simplified is the toolkit. We've made it very easy to work within the toolset, because the whole idea all along was it has to be simple to use. We wanted people to be able to quickly create an adventure, which means building an area, dumping some creatures in and getting into the game, in maybe minutes.
This can allow you to model your initial adventures and sequences on the ones the team originally used. But partly we suspect, this is because Bioware knows that there are fans out there that like nothing better than a good rummage through their code.
Bioware hopes to create an all-encompassing RPG that both hardcore players and the hack 'n' slash brigade can enjoy. But whether it turns out to be the four course meal we're expecting or a paltry prawn cocktail is something we'll reveal in our upcoming review. But we've played the code and are starving ourselves in anticipation of a full on banquet.
But is it everything it has been hyped up to be? Neverwinter Nights was an ambitious idea in the first place: An RPG that allowed ultimate customization and a never-ending series of adventures, created by the gaming community and RPG lovers everywhere.
My main gripe, then, would be the lack of an equally exciting module built into the game. NWN's single player game is somewhat weak: A plague is killing the denizens of Neverwinter, and you need to find out how to stop it shades of Heretic II , anyone? While not a bad module in itself, it lacks the depth of gameplay that the Baldur's Gate series had. Also, character movement and control is not as graceful or simple as Dungeon Siege , but then again, this is a much more in depth adventure game.
I was unable to test multiplayer aspects of the game, but the engine looks solid and should support LAN play with very little lag. But in many ways, NWN is superior to that title in many aspects. The first person perspective is a lot more intuitive than previous Bioware titles, and sound and video are both excellent. The Aurora module building tool, while extremely memory intensive M recommended , is very simple to use and will be easy for even moderate RPG enthusiasts to master quickly, making turnaround time for module creation much shorter.
In short, I give Neverwinter Nights a Fans Only rating for the time being, being as that the single player game lacks the fun factor that I expect newer fan created modules will. In a month, new adventures built by fans will definitely push this game into the ranks of Recommended Buy. Browse games Game Portals. Neverwinter Nights. Install Game. Everything works well after an initial adjustment period, but it's annoying when you make occasional strategic mistakes because of the gameplay delays.
The module creation options are impressive. Users have access to the families of tile sets used in creating the single-player game, and creative players will have no difficulty in creating unique levels filled with just the right amount of monsters. The staggering array of options available -- the monsters, NPCs, stories, environment, and more -- makes Neverwinter a DM's dream.
Level creation is an involved process, and DMs should plan on taking hours to rush through the basic module, plus a few hours of tweaking to finish a good scenario. There are a few concerns with the tile sets; players will wish the forest set, for instance, had a few more options.
Neverwinter provides good graphics and outstanding customization features for creative DMs. It's a pity the single-player story mode isn't a little more engaging, because it's the only thing keeping Neverwinter from getting the maximum rating. Sound: The voice acting is handled well with crisp deliveries and interesting voices.
