Neverwinter Nights - 07-27-04
permalink
Picked this game up roughly a week ago, and damn, I'm glad I did. Here's my short story...

After lazily walking around the wall to the various few stores that sell games, I've come to realize that the market for gaming is quite stagnant. Its all the same shit, rehashed in a new box, with a real half assed story line behind it. Everything new I've played on an older system. So I turned to PC games, cause I've come to like my PC far more than consoles.

So I broke it down to 3 games. Manhunt, Hitman 3, or Neverwinter Nights. Since I've found both Hitmans on the net for free download, I dissed that one off first. And I also have enough shooting games in my life (UT2003/4, Counter-Strike, and TFC), I opted for Neverwinter Nights.

Now this is a wicked game. It makes quite a leap from the likes of Baulder's Gate II or Planscape: Torment. To me, its a mixture of three. Baldur's Gate II, Diablo II, and EQ. Its crazy. But good crazy.

Storyline is a bit hard to follow, but aside from that its a wonderful game. Quite big, complex, and with enough variaitions in character choices to play it a few times and never have to use the same "tactics".

Me and a few are going to LAN this game tonight (Cause its quicker than net and we're able, Geek pride!) so I'll know more about how well that works tonight. Looks most promising though.

So my question(s) to others...

Did you like this game?

Would you be interested in playing it over the net with a few others? (Myself and some friends off of here).
