It's always a good time to play NWN.

    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?

        I have the same question, I was a teenager when it came out and I found it a bit confusing. There seems to be a lot of different campaigns.

        It felt that the combat was immediately too difficult and then I got to a boss that wrecked me. So, I gave up.

      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).

        The base game’s campaign was meh, kinda repetitive. The expansions – and player-made adventures – improved on it a lot.

      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.

    I never could get this game to work. I had a physical copy that I bought and tried to install on 3 separate systems and none of them could run it. And not for lack of hardware, I was well over spec on one PC. IDK why this game was so difficult to get running.

    Edit- lol at the downvotes. I really just don’t get this site anymore.

    Bought 2 copies on console. Game doesn’t actually work on console. Bought 2 on steam. Game doesn’t actually run on steam. (Or Linux?)

    Come on, it’s a D&D game with broken AI party members that you need to micromanage every single frame. I just wanted to try it with a friend.

    Cool looking scam though.

      Runs fine for me: Steam on Linux.

      And yes the AI is not terrificly bright, nor are many other mechanics state of the art these days, but I find it a fun game. Might reinstall and play through again. Now, if only stealth archer were a viable build…
