I was still playing up to a few months ago. I never purchased NW2 because I heard rather poor reviews and I'm kind of cheap. When it's available for $10 I might try it.

I played it a year ago and never got past the 1st chapter. Didn't particularly like the game. Ditched it for the Knights of The Old Republic series instead.

ya

I still play it lots, I got NWN2 and beat it, but then the only computer i have that plays it broke so i switched back to NWN. It's an amazing game and anyone who thinks otherwise probably isn't very good at rpgs.

As far as RPGs go, NWN isn't much of one and is more hack and slash than anything.

Lol

LOL, sorry if i offend crenshinibon, but nwn is DEFINITELY an rpg. it doesnt have to be turn based to be an rpg. hack n' slash is more along the lines of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, but NWN is definitely not hack n' slash.

same here. i never came out of the acadamy, the game is just to much boring and slow. NWN2+MOTB on the other side is a real goldmine of a game. best rpg i played since baldurs gate (but baldurs gate is still the best xD).

I'm still playing. It's something I do on the side, when I don't feel like any other game. NWN1 has its own charm, at least for those who like the game, and I never tire of it. So far, along with IWD I and II, it's the only game that I can replay again and again.

NWN is the closest RPG to D&D that I have ever played...

I just beat all three main modules and will continue playing online. I love it. The server I am playing on has some nice people. Kinda remind me to my D&D days when I was a kid.

When I get my new PC I shall try NWNII and Morrowind Oblivion.

I like it and am actively playing it - I'm in the middle of chapter 2 right now. I got the Diamond Edition and even installed it on my Vista gaming rig with the new 1.69 patch. It's an under-rated game imho.

I still play NWN as well as NWN2 and KOTOR 1 and 2.

The OC was ok, chapter one was slow, but the rest made up for it and made a great game.
HOTU, the premium modules and most of the modules on the Vault and here are excellent, and make it a joy to play again and again.
The Witcher is based on the same game engine and it ROCKS.

As long as folks continue to make mods for it, it will continue to be a great game.

And I may be mistaken, but the tools to mod for NWN 1 and 2 are the same or modified versions which are being used to make the new mods and endings for KOTOR 1 and 2. And I am definitely going to replay those to see the new mods work and enjoy the excellent work of the Restoration crew.

I still play it when I can. Currently playing TQ also...

But for total content alone to draw from (D&D 3rd edition) NWN 1 has always had the potential to be the biggest rpg of all time. I still struggle to figure out why a NWN 2 had to be made apart from just making better use of the current graphics engines available....

I personally believe that Bioware should just have kept employing module making experts to keep making modules for the NWN1 engine. They have all the D&D books and content to draw from....

To put it into perspective Neverwinter is just a largish city in the Forgotten Realms where there are hundreds of such cities.

I think there is definately a rpg mark being missed....when the RPG gaming industry is being dominated by a MMORPG game based off an originally quirky little real time strategy game (I think you all know which game)....I have to start wondering....especially when finally a MMORPG based on D&D is released they pick the most obscure of the realms to base it on (Eberron which is still a good realm but far from the calabre of the current Forgotten Realms)....

So I still think NWN is a great game and with the potential to make your own content and environment using a very user friendly tool (NWN campaign builder) it just makes it all the better....but it just misses out on being a "top" game...

ROFL!!! NWN just hack and slash? Well if you think that then you have been playing really slow games... Though i admit that it isnt much of a story, but the high modability(is that a word???) of it made it a classic.

I'd love to go back and install the game just to take advantage of the community gaming goodness. But when I built my socket 939 system I installed an ATI X800GTO and unbeknownst to me the X800 card architecture and NWN1 don't play well at all. After a full install the game hangs right as you are about to load the game. There is no patch to correct this and both ATI (now AMD) and Bioware are well aware of this problem that has never been addressed.

I can't even imagine all the great community made games I've missed since uninstalling 3+ years ago. It is one game that more than pays for itself.

Iam playing through for the first time. I had started it before and couldn't get into it but now I am determined to finish it.

Pretty much the same as Mewp. I'm currently in chapter 2 of the original campaign, Half-Orc Druid6/Barbarian1/Ranger1 (yes I know, xp penalty, boohoo). Going to tackle SoU and HotU after.

Neverwinter was a great game to play. The campaign was uninterresting, but it was addicting and I just kept playing and loved it. I stil prefer Hotu, it was more a Roleplaying game to me. The NPC became better and I bothered to speak with them, what I didn't do in the original because they all looked so dull. I only took them along for their fighting skills, while in Hotu they were interresting, and I cared about their fate in the final moments of the game.

Someone on this topic said it felt more Hack 'n Slash. The original felt that way to me too, it was at moments trully a hunger for power. But still it's a good game to play for fun, not because it's interresting or anything else.

Yes i still play it, but must admit not alot.
I put it on my laptop and only play when i'm not at home.
