NeverWinter Connections has done a review of Neverwinter Nights that focuses on the "being a DM (dungeon master)" part of the game. This article should be extremely interesting for those of you who plan on creating and hosting games for your friends as it does not only give you a detailed insight into NWN's DM possibilities but it also provides some useful hints for maximum DM entertainment.
Here's a bit from the intro:I felt it was time that someone reviewed the game of Neverwinter Nights from a true Pen & Paper Dungeon Master perspective. Does Neverwinter Nights take us a step closer to what most Dungeons & Dragons player long for in a computer game?
This is not a review of the single player game. This is not a review of the graphics, the hardware requirements, or the loot in the game. This is a review from a Dungeon Masters point of view.
I have Dungeon Mastered going on 20 years now (yes, I am a geek and proud of it). I am a role-player in the truest sense of the word. I try and bring my game alive with props, interesting accents, and situations that evoke the imagination. To me, a Dungeon Master lives to create a sense of wonder and excitement in the players and the characters that they are responsible for. Players give up a large portion of their time to live in the fantasy world we, as Dungeon Masters, create. |
