Never Winter Nights

[mooby]

Is this game worth getting?

What are it's pros/cons?

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

It's a good game.

Pros
3rd Edition rules implemented pretty well
Good graphics
A lot of multiplayer potential

Cons
Not turn based. (My opinion, you may like real time combat.)
Weak story.
Only one PC. This is the biggest Con.
A bit too much hack and slash. (Again, just my opinion.)

Personally, I would hold out for The Temple of Elemental Evil. Looks to be a great game.

Pros: Excellent multiplayer mode, fun gameplay (a mix between Baldur's Gate and Diablo would be the best way to describe it), a huge selection of user-created content available online means that you'll never run out of modules to play.

Cons: The official campaign that comes with the game is mediocre at best, with most of the quests boiling down to "fetch this item and deliver it to this NPC". The game isn't as true to the 3rd Edition D&D rules as it could have been.

Overall, I would say that NWN is worth getting, mainly for the modules you can download at Neverwinter Vault. Modules like Shadowlords, Lone Wolf, conversions of classic 1e and 2e P&P modules, etc.

Speaking of NWN, does anyone know if the retail price of this game will drop anytime soon? Possibly when the Shadows of Undrentide expansion comes out?

Drop how much? I believe it's already down to $30, might take a while to get any lower.

Right now I belive its $40.00, but I think it will drop to 30 once the first expansion is out.

It's $30 in my area, and has been that way since shortly after Christmas.

 

[Hand of Evil]

Pros:
3e rule set
Graphics and game play
Multi-player
user created modules (tons of)
DM Design (while sometimes is a pain scripting very powerful)

Cons:
SP Game weak
Missing common Actions (climb, swim)
PC Requirements (A lot of people had issues running the game when it first came out, mostly graphic card related)

I know the game has some issues with ATI cards, they are trying to work on them. I've never used ATI so I can't say.
