It seems you think NWN is for the Hack'n slash players...?!?!????No, it is the computer game that is the closest to a PnP Roleplay experience!Actually, I played BG, Fallout, NWN... but before NWN, I didn't know what PnP or the DnD rules are.I didn't realize that there is a game (PnP-D&D) that uses these rules and that this is a computer conversation of these rules!After I played PnP-like NWN, I bought all the core books and lots of other DnD and PnP stuff... I joined this site because of NWN!Some comments:"...but maybe NWN has to be played online to be really fun?"Oh yes! If you ever can try it in multiplayer... DO IT <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />(looking for NWN-RP players/DMs? -> <a href="http://www.neverwinterconnections.com" target="_blank">www.neverwinterconnections.com</a>There, you will find young and old PnP-Players who can't find a PnP groupand now play NWN (beside PlayByMail etc))"...if you don't like hack'n slash,... NWN isn't for you"This is actually wrong! (if you're able to play online)"It's mainly a 'go online and beat the hell out of some monsters with your buddies' game."I have to disagree!"ummm...back to the point. Unless you like big online hack-fests, NWN isn't for you."Again, I have to disagree, it is just not true!(I play NWN with people that roleplay(-ed) D&D/PnP for more than 20 years and I am sure, they DON'T like hack-fests... but play NWN)I play and DM NWN campaigns in a very PnP way.Sometimes we play three hours or more without a single fight!I enjoy scheduled campaign sessions with small RP groups. (5,6 people and 1,2 DMs)I don't like the Persistant Worlds,.. there you will find a lot of hack'n slash IMO.(but not in DMed Roleplaying Sessions!)The PCs/DMs roll skill/ability checks and response to the roll.When we rest, it takes time and we will advance the clock.(not like "normal" NWN,.. fight, rest, fight, rest)Story depth depends on the DM/Builder who created the adventure you play.(Yes you can play other modules than the Original Campaign)NWN is a tool to create your own adventures and play them onlineand not a single-player game IMOSo if you are looking for a different experience with NWN(different than the experiences that were described in this thread)try <a href="http://www.neverwinterconnections.com" target="_blank">www.neverwinterconnections.com</a> and join a game.There will be the third NWN Online convention at the end of this year/start of the next year.Kind regards,Smithy</blockquote>
