Old school fun

I am an old school game addict. I like a story and playability and this game has both. I am anxious about the new release, because it will be hard to top this one. With the expansion packs that are included there is hundreds of hours of game play and a multitude of character classes and special classes. If you haven't played this one don't miss out on the cheap price. It is the most bang for your buck in the marketplace.

good game

This is a lost classic game for your PC. I think the description is right- the amount of challenges throughout the game is amazing. You will not get bored with this game any time soon. The graphics hold up extremely well, and I have to agree with the reviewer who says that technology is advancing TOO fast and this is making it difficult to appreciate a game before the next big thing comes out. Probably nobody remembers this game and that's a shame. Well, that's how it goes.

I Love This Game!

This game plays well with all bugs ironed out by now. It is addictive, graphically beautiful, intensely charming, full of action, infinitely replayable (I should know, I have spent at least an hour a day playing since March 2002; this purchase was to give to my sister) with great variety in character creation. It is more charming and beautiful than NWN2. NWN2 begins to bother me as it fights you when you want to play a good character, and entices the undecided to play evil characters more than the original NWN. That's why I chose to get my sister interested in NWN Platinum.
Note, I am a 'recovered' Casino fan!

Addictive

It's an older game, kinda dated graphics, but I have an older computer and it took me two months to beat the first main game, I'm working on Shadows of Undrentide, and I'm almost thru that, didn't take nearly as long. Over all it's addictive and a good value if you've got an older computer or just looking for a classic.

This is the -it- game, a wondrful game with possebilities.
This pack got the first Neverwinter, and two expension packs: -hordes of the underdark- and -shadows of the undrentide-
personly I loved the -Hordes of the Underdark- a great game filled with surprises and fun, incredible.
The other expension pack Shadow of the undrentide is not that exiting but still fun.

The graphic is good, and the people on the game really look like they are real and alive, breathing and all....

If you buy this game you will have alot of fun, action, love and caring, you will truly enjoy.

One of my favorites...

This is one of my favorite games, right up there with Starcraft Broodwar and Counterstrike 1.6. This and those two games are about the only video games I ever play anymore, and with good reason. They are awesome games. The campaigns are fantastic, but what is possibly my favorite is the online play with other people. This is a must-have for any D&D player or RPG lover.

Platinum shines

If you are a D&D fan you owe it to yourself to pick this game up.
The first module (the main) is a little boring. It's the last 2 modules that makes this game shine.
For the price it's well worth the $$. Many hours of gaming from this title.

Great game. I bought this game so I could get on the internet and play online. 3-n-1 a good price for three fun games.

Good but not great: too combat oriented, Baldur's Gate is better

I have played through the Diamond version of this game, including Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark.

I can't say much for the multiplayer aspect of it, since my friends aren't really d&d people, but I can speak for the single player aspect.

This is one of those games like starcraft, WoW, etc. that is fun mostly for the endlessly competitive tactical combat aspect. In NWN, combat is all about math, especially for fighters. This is fine, except, there's not much besides combat in this game, so it gets tedious, since unlike in the above games, you don't participate in combat, you just click on something and then wait. (in NWN you only control one character)

There's not a lot of story, not a lot of non-combat challenges (Although there is one lawyer-quest that is pretty fun). Plus the background environments are highly repetitive, there's very few textures and all the buildings look the same inside. In other words, don't expect this game to have much 'meat' to its plot or atmosphere compared to the high-quality single player RPGs like Final Fantasy 7.

You might say to me: "Hey, but what about all the modules you can download?" Yes, there are a lot of modules to download, but there is basically only one that reaches the quality level I am referring to (Darkness over Daggerford), and all the other ones have either bad writing, dubious content (awkward polygonal sex scenes come to mind), or are just plain short.

All in all I would say if you like games like Diablo II, then buy NWN.

On the other hand, if you like games like Final Fantasy 7, with more of an epic story, side-quests, mini-games, and variety in general, you are much better off getting the Baldur's Gate box set below.
