Neverwinter Nights (PC) for Windows

Pros: Excellent graphics, character creator and multi-play.
Cons: Fiendish system requirements, difficult to understand Aurora Toolset, unoriginal single-player.

Before I get into depth about the game, why is it set in Neverwinter, some city I've never heard? Why not Waterdeep? That said, NWN is a good game. It has excellent graphics and sound, and the character creation is alot of fun and allows for very...

Pros: Graphics. Gameplay. Humour.
Cons: Requires quite a PC.

It's really difficult to be picky about this game - truly an amazing piece of art !

I would say the game feels similar to D2 with one big difference - the visual difference is that of between Tom and Jerry cartoons and [your favourite fx...

Pros: Lovely graphics. Stupendous character options.
Cons: Lame gameplay. Sluggish pace. Too much chatting with NPCs.

Neverwinter Nights feels like a overwrought re-tread of Diablo 2. It's as if Bioware (the designers) took all the great elements of earlier RPG fantasy games (like Diablo) and simply added more complexity and detail -- without actually making them more ...

Pros: Great Multiplayer and Worlds
Cons: Need a fairly good graphics card if you want to get the full experience

Never winter Nights is going to be great. I just got into the whole RPG thing about a year ago with Baldur's Gate. I just got Ice-wind Dale and am really psyched up for Never winter Nights. Being able to play multi-player with that many people online...

Pros: Looks like it could be fun if you could get it working.
Cons: It doesn't seem to work for a whole lot of folks.

Do a search on "Neverwinter Nights" and "crash" and see how many hits you get. Guess what, it's over 55,000!!!

One of the most active threads on all the discussion forums for this game is always regarding crashes. This game seems to work only with certain PC's / video cards, etc...

Given the less than liberal return policies of most software retailers, do you really want to plop down the money for this game only to not be able to run it? You may as well have thrown your money out the window of your car.

I have a state-of-the-art PC (with which I play many, many games) and have been working for the last 15 years as a professional IS Technician. I have no axe to grind, nor am I trying to give you anything but sound advice. Let Atari work out the bugs and get this game working before you spend your money.

Pros: Excellent Gameplay, Multiplayer and Toolset... one of the best RPGs around by far
Cons: Buggy sometimes, but patches are available so no worries =)

The game itself is very exciting, requires skill and thought, the perfect RPG, Deluxe CD will be top quality =)

Pros: Great graphics, story and game play.
Cons: Lonely single player, cannot control henchman much.

Wow! The graphics and game interface is wonderful. The detail is amazing and a story line that pulls you in. Bioware definitely put some serious effort into this game with music score, effects and toolset.

BUT, it gets pretty lonely when playing as a single player and not online. You're only allowed one henchman and there is virtually no background dialog by anyone (even your character) while walking through town/forest/dungeon (very UNLIKE Baldur's Gate series). You cannot control your henchman/summoned creature/familiar much and s/he will do what they want within the parameters you give them, and those parameters are sometimes pretty loose: henchman will attack enemy immediately on sight, even when you don't want him/her to.

Like most RPGs, the game sometimes becomes tedious with the running back and forth necessary to gain experience and to solve necessary quests to go further in the game. There are chapters in this game that are not as fun as others, but overall, I spent many hours having fun.
