In practice, this means some characters can act more often than others, and it frequently feels like the player-character is waiting in line. Everything works well after an initial adjustment period, but it's annoying when you make occasional strategic mistakes because of the gameplay delays.
The module creation options are impressive. Users have access to the families of tile sets used in creating the single-player game, and creative players will have no difficulty in creating unique levels filled with just the right amount of monsters. The staggering array of options available -- the monsters, NPCs, stories, environment, and more -- makes Neverwinter a DM's dream.
Level creation is an involved process, and DMs should plan on taking hours to rush through the basic module, plus a few hours of tweaking to finish a good scenario. There are a few concerns with the tile sets; players will wish the forest set, for instance, had a few more options. Neverwinter provides good graphics and outstanding customization features for creative DMs.
It's a pity the single-player story mode isn't a little more engaging, because it's the only thing keeping Neverwinter from getting the maximum rating. Sound: The voice acting is handled well with crisp deliveries and interesting voices. However, listening to the dialogue can be time consuming. But the atmosphere of a doomed, infested and thoroughly pissed-off city is created extremely well.
Everywhere you go there are burning piles of plague victims you even have to set fire to a few yourself , citizens camp out on the streets too frightened to go back to their homes and too poor to go anywhere else. Every quest you do is important to someone, and often helps you understand more about the main storyline. And more than ever Bioware has tried to reflect your character stats by the way people respond to you you might want to think about that before you go round thieving everything in sight.
Every now and then you will get chances in a conversation to elicit more information out of a character by persuading, lying, flirting and using your skills of insight and lore, which will succeed or fail randomly on a background dice roll, based on your charisma, wisdom and intelligence. The main plotline and the multitude of sub-quests are generally less complex and prolonged than in previous titles.
But the atmosphere is just as dark and blood-soaked as ever, and makes Dungeon Siege's vague plot look like a bedtime story: "Ho. Ho said the evil goblin" etc. In order to maintain more fluid gameplay the Neverwinter Night's team has also done away with the constant cutscenes that saturated previous games.
Resting is also no longer such a laborious affair, as it simply involves your party sitting down for about ten seconds while they heal up and re-learn spells. This does wonders for the gameplay and it makes the whole thing a much smoother, if slightly unrealistic experience. Every aspect of the 3D environment has been utilised, from weather effects to a full day and night cycle with superb ambient light effects.
This works especially well when the darkness closes in on the festering city and you have to get out your little burning torch to light the way. And that little bit of light somehow serves to make the approaching dragging sounds and gurgling screams all the more disturbing.
The 3D world also lends itself exceedingly well to beautiful and frantic battles, especially when you become a high-level magic user. It really is a thing of beauty to watch your enemies cower as your henchman hits them repeatedly over the head with a double axe. Did she fire six fireballs or only five? Well, to tell you the truth in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself. Aside from the single-player aspect.
Bioware aimed to create a toolkit that was going to be easy for anyone to use; in fact, they designed the entire tile-style building blocks of the game around that premise, and it works bloody well.
Not only does the manual include a step-by-step guide to creating basic levels, it also shows you how to unlock and edit some of the existing levels from the game. Born out of the community, they have done much to elevate role-playing from a backroom hobby to a worldwide genre.
The world is yours again. It was all part of Bioware's master plan to make Neverwinter Nights as much of an online experience as an offline one. Despite it being out for less than a month at the time of writing this review, the online side of Neverwinter Nights was buzzing, and by the time you read this it should be even easier to get a multiplayer game in any chapter of the single-player game or numerous official and fan-made mods.
Lag is dependant on the number of players and whether you're providing both server and client information, but generally the multiplayer shouldn't run much slower than the single-player. As with the single-player game, creating a character is extremely easy, plus you get a number of pre-made characters to experiment with.
