Very nice!! Congrats Kurina!! That’s an awesome price.

3263

Today’s new release is Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Edition.

Oh, and congrats Kurina!

3264

I loved this series…really good game for its time.

3265

Loved loved LOVED that game. Really starting to dig GoG

3266

Congrats!

and it seems this is a popular title. Service is being hammered

3267

I’m still hoping to see M&M 7-9 appear one day. I know 9 was the low point in the series (although I defended it to death long long ago here), but all of them would still be fun to play again. I’ll get my disks out if I have to, but come on GOG, do me a solid!

3268

It’s Kurina’s fault for downloading every game they’ve got all at once. ;)

3269

I can’t seem to remember why I never got around to it, but the only one I never played was Day of the Destroyer (8). I really loved the style of 6 and 7, so I’m also crossing my fingers that they can get the rest of the series.

I read GAF right after posting about how much I loved NWN and saw about 10+ replies saying how the single player was awful and so on. I personally loved it, like I mentioned earlier, but I was also young and stupid. Could anyone name some ‘‘glaring flaws’’ that people had with the single player or the game in general?

3271

I mainly remember it being really generic and unimaginative. Admittedly the Forgotten Realms setting in general is unimaginative, but it was at its worst in NWN 1.

Also the tiling tech, while flexible for modders, was very obvious. You could clearly see the building blocks of the game and reused textures. That was a shock coming from Baldurs Gates hand painted levels. (also the combat was tactically a step backwards from BG).

NWN2 was much better IMO, especially on the tech and combat aspects.

The biggest problem was that NWN was built as a D&D construction kit but marketed as having a single player campaign on par with Baldur’s Gate 2. The single player wasn’t awful, but it was very bland and didn’t come close to reaching the bar set by BG2.

Great mods though.

3273

NWN1 is fantastic. The original campaign is bland, but the expansion packs ranged from good to great, and they’re the bulk of the gameplay.

3274

I’m quite tempted to get NWN. I had it back in the day but got bored with it, but I hear there are amazing mods for it. Anyone know of some good ones?

3275

People loved the original campaign in NWN? Huh.

I’ll be buying it to replace my existing disc version of Diamond, just so I never have to enter the multitude of codes to install it again.

3276

The hugely useful thread here at Qt3 on NWN mods was The official NWN mods thread I believe, which replaced the old Which NWN should I play first? thread as the latest in mods recommendations.

I got really excited by that thread back in the day. I bought the platinum edition, installed everything, then installed a lot of the mods in that thread which sounded interesting to me. And then I finally fired up the game and tried one. And it was soooooo ugly. And the writing was nowhere near as good as I was expecting. So I probably gave up on the user-made mods too soon. I originally tried the original campaign when the game first came out and found it as boring and as much of a chore as the original Baldur’s Gate, which I also hated for the same reason.

Anyway, that’s the thread you want for mod recommendations.

3277

Thanks!

3278

I agree with this sentiment. I made it two chapters into the campaign and quit. I was playing a monk though, which didn’t help I’m sure. I ended up doing Shadows of the Undrentide and then transferring over to Hordes of the Underdark which I remember really enjoying.

I’ll be buying it to replace my existing disc version of Diamond, just so I never have to enter the multitude of codes to install it again.

God yes. I’ll probably get around to getting this eventually for this reason alone.

Edit: This doesn’t include premium modules does it? It mentions a premium module re-installer in the bonus content, but it doesn’t seem like it includes any of those modules.

3279

The campaign is so bland it’s not worth discussing this question. It’s simply too boring for even the usual narrative pile-on in the GOG thread.

3280

I also played a Monk in the original and the 2 expansions. The monk is the most overpowered class in the game as long as you went completely DEX based. My build was a Human Monk/Sorcerer, I leveled Sorcerer up until I could get Cat’s Grace (which was level 2 or 3 if I can remember right, and gave 1d4+1 DEX), then took feats like Weapon Finesse, Mobility, ect. When Hordes of the Underdark came out and introduced Epic Feats, Monks were insanely over powered.

NWN Premium for $10!? Sold - Just so I don’t have to mess with a zillion discs and codes to install it.

The SP campaign is bland, but the endless trove of scenarios and mods makes this completely worth it.
