A new review of Neverwinter Nights has been posted at OcPrices. Their rating is one of "excellent", but their summary has some complaints, too:
I really like Neverwinter Nights, but for forty quid I can’t help but feel that I’ve been cheated. Despite the endless fun to be had in multiplayer, it’s the single player campaign that most gamers will spend their time doing and this is where this title shows its warts. I keep returning back to the ‘being evil’ doesn’t mean much argument.
It may not mean much to you but when I murder everyone in a pub I want people to know I want the guard to try and beat me to death, I want to be shunned by my former allies, I want to become the videogame equivalent of Michael Winner; feared and hated by all.
Although it may seem a minor point, for me it’s the computer game equivalent of a set wobbling in a TV show- It utterly destroys the sense of emersion.
In short Neverwinter Nights is a damn fine RPG, unfortunately it’s not the revolution in role-playing we were promised. Bioware had best start work on Baldur’s Gate 3... |
