A preview of BioWare's highly anticipated AD&D RPG Neverwinter Nights has popped up at Gamers.com. It's based on impressions from the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) which closed its doors last Friday.
Here's a snip:Playing a Wizard, I was quickly amazed by the spell animations and effects. A little ways into the game, our DM suggested that I cast the spell 'Weird'. I did as he suggested, and to my surprise and awe, a gigantic demonic, beastly creature, larger even than the dragon I was casting it on, emerged out of the ground, unfolded, and instantly dominated the screen. Fireballs crashed down and enveloped the battle in beautiful orange light, and the "oohs" and "aahs" from the rest of the players just go to show how massive and extraordinary the spells really are. The wondrous and supernatural natural of these spells is a true highlight, and though they're naturally balanced (I was the only one who died during the campaign), you'll be able to rival the fighters in scope, size, and visible power. It's cool to be a wizard again, and you really have something to show for it. |
