Corona Productions has posted up its Neverwinter Nights review. BioWare's 3rd edition AD&D RPG misses the perfect score of 10 by 0.5 points.
Here's a bit:In the single-player of NWN, you play a warrior recruited into a prestigious academy in the plague-ravaged city of Neverwinter. On your graduation day, the academy is attacked, and four creatures that could possibly cure the plague and were being held in the academy, are set loose in the city. You are sent to find them, but during your actions you begin to learn of a cult that conspired to set loose the plague for unknown reasons, and a possible traitor among you.
Unlike the Baldur’s Gate series, you do not control an entire band of adventurers. You play a lone adventurer, aided only by a single hired henchman whom you have no control over but levels up when you do, and a summoned animal companion. To be honest the poor “non-party” system is the biggest flaw of the game. I like how henchmen have a will of their own, but the fact that you can’t even equip them is annoying to say the least. Their pathfinding AI is also severely flawed, and often get stuck if you move along too quickly. | | Source: NWvault |
