I play Elder Scrolls is Neverwinter Nights anything like the Elder Scrolls?

Well - they are both roleplaying games, where you do quests and kill monsters, and where you build up a character.

But that is about where the comparison ends.

Can you do or kill anything that you want without affecting the gameplay?

Killing civilians will generally cause the guards, and the whole town to attack you.

Do you get to custom create a charater?

The ruleset is very different from Morrowind and can't be compared. Morrowind uses its own, where as Neverwinter Nights uses Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition rules. (a huge ruleset used for many roleplaying games, both computer and real life tabeltop)

In D&D you select a class and level up in that, with possible multiclassing (in NwN you can multiclass 3 classes), and placing skill points and selectint feats at level up.
So there is a large number of class-oppertunities, but it isn't the same classsystem as Morrowind. In Morrowind there weren't actually classes, it was just skills you selected, in Neverwinter Nights you select classes that has spellcastin, better meele, sneaking and so on.
Other then the games being CRPG - I wouldn't really compared Morrowind and Neverwinter Nights because they are two very different games.
Neverwinter Nights compares (of course) much more to Baldur's Gate series, Icewind Dale series and the likes.


I'd advice you to read some articles or reviews about Neverwinter Night if you are interested. And then form your opinion.
