Customer Reviews

A Soldiers Tale....
Solid product. Have wasted many a deployed hour leveling up my characters. Not to sure about the multiplayer aspect due to inability to play over the internet but it sounds solid. Love the ability to create your own modulars. The interface is extreamly easy to learn and still provide a complex system. The chat scripts are a little tricky but its worth it in the end to learn...

A Bit Buggy
Should the game be minimized for any reason (my anti-virus running an automatic check, for instance), the original NWN freezes, but the expansions don't. Tends to run slow in a few of the largest areas, since it was on a laptop, I'll admit my system may have been at least partially to blame.

XP1 had a few points, especially in the interlude, where puzzels lacked explaination and solving them proved very difficult, but they were always very inconsequential sidequests.

I did notice in the last chapter of XP2, the game froze five or six times, especially in the deepest wastes portion. All other problem I had involved my own lack of sitting down and thinking a riddle or puzzel through, so I have no other complaints. The story telling's great, the game's top notch,and I realyl love to play it again adn again and again.

Better then NWN2 and any other RPG
Best role-playing game out there! The adventures out-of-the-box are ok. What makes the game have unending replay value are all of the free, user-created, multi-player modules that the game can run. Since these modules are user created, they are very varied: some are hack-and-slash, some encourage role-playing, and others require role-playing. Some have quick leveling, high magic and massive gold, while in others it is hard to find gold for a meal and a +2 sword is coveted by players with 100s of hours in the module. Some modules are easy; others require careful strategy to survive. Some are strongly player verses player; others have no player verses player and everything in-between. Many modules are set in Forgotten Realms, some are set in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth, some in J.K. Rowling Harry Potter, at least one in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, and many in totally user-invented worlds. Most worlds use English as the primary language, but there are a good number of French modules, and I bet other languages are represented.

Overall, a great game.
