I tried to get into this game twice in my life, and somehow i never could. I wonder what i did wrong
Well, I’m 37, so maybe not too-too young. Maybe i just wasn’t familiar with the d&d ruleset it was based on?
Neverwinter Nights is more of a d&d tool for DM & parties with custom campaigns to enjoy online instead of irl.
The included campaign is a bit of an after-thought (a bit basic, but complete, I still like it).
Samesies. I think it didn’t help that I played the sequel first. It’s just really damned dated. Some older games age really well, but NWN did not.
Never played the original single player NWN, is it 2.5 or 3rd edition? I did play the MMO NWN on AOL. That one was 2.5 edition with the tile and grid system that previous TSR single player titles had used in the late '80s/ early '90s
The single-player NWN used 3rd edition. I played a lot of NWN2, which was based on 3.5.
I can’t help comparing it (unfavourably) to baldurs gate 1. The story just didn’t hook me the same way.
