An old friend has come home and while age may be showing just a bit, still it is a welcomed visit.
BioWare has released Neverwinter Nights Diamond, which is both something new and something old. The pack is a compilation of the Neverwinter Nights saga, as it now stands, with the original title and the two expansions – Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark.

So if you can look past Neverwinter Nights' monotonous single-player campaign to its much more stimulating multiplayer mode, it is a worthy buy for any fan of D&D.

The game is great, you can choose to be good or evil, you can choose your race, you can choose your class, you can choose how you do a mission or even if you do it. It's a great game and I'm very anxious for NeverWinter Nights 2.

There is not much to say. Neverwinter Nights is fun, a lot of fun. It is also bland. Despite its figurative colorlessness, it has an addictive quality to it.

Bioware's RPG engine's are the greatest things since sliced bread, but I think they should just create the engines and let developers like Black Isle make the actual games.

I believe that this game was made to appeal more to those who are willing to take it online with a group of friends than the lone offline gamer. Not to say that there isn't still fun to be had solo, it's just that much like a MMORPG, to get the full enjoyment out of Neverwinter Nights you are probably going to want to experience it with others.

Players take the roles of valiant warriors, devout clerics, enigmatic wizards, and cunning rogues, to take part in unlimited adventures based on the 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons role-playing rules. Neverwinter Nights was developed by BioWare, the company responsible for the Baldur's Gate series of D&D computer games.

Neverwinter Nights ist ein sehr gutes Spiel, auch wenn mich viele Macken maßlos aufregen. Was sollen etwa die Vierkant-Levels? Die ach so wilden Goblin-Höhlen sehen aus wie auf Millimeterpapier geplant! Schmerzlich vermisse auch ich eine richtige Party wie in Baldur's Gate 2. Wenn ich jedoch in die dichte Hintergrundgeschichte eintauche, sind alle Kritikpunkte vergessen. Die humanitäre Hauptaufgabe fesselt genauso wie die unzähligen Nebenquests. Sogar mein angeheuerter Begleiter ist in jedem Kapitel für eine Mission gut, mit der er erst nach und nach im Spielverlauf herausrückt.

Overall, Neverwinter Nights looks to be the best Role Playing Game of 2002. While the year still has several months left, you will have a hard time finding a better game to spend 60+ hours with. Not only is Neverwinter Nights great now, it is sure to continue to get better with all the user-created modules coming out. What more could you ask for?

Dank der D&D Lizenz ist Neverwinter Nights für ernsthafte Rollenspieler, die ordentlich Action nicht abgeneigt sind ideal. Auf Newbies wirkt dieses komplexe Regelwerk möglicherweise abschreckend, aber nach einer kurzen Eingewöhnungszeit merkt man, das es eigentlich gar nicht so schwierig ist, wie es den Anschein hat. Natürlich sollte man Zeit zum Lesen mitbringen, aber nichtsdestotrotz besteht Suchtgefahr. Ein geniales Szenario, Bombenatmosphäre und komplexes Charaktersystem machen Neverwinter Nights zu einem echten Hitkandidaten.

Handwerklich ist Neverwinter Nights ein brillantes Spiel: Die dritte Ausgabe des Dungeons & Dragons-Regelwerks ist angenehm komplex, die Grafik-Engine zweifellos erstklassig, der Editor herrlich einfach zu bedienen und der Multiplayer-Modus mit Dungeon Master eine Klasse für sich. Nur hat anscheinend irgendwer vergessen, das Ganze mit Inhalten zu füllen. Die Story ist zu Beginn bestenfalls solider Durchschnitt. Ab dem zweiten Kapitel steigt die Motivation dann aber rasant: Weil ich endlich aus der bescheuerten Stadt rauskomme, durch abwechslungsreiche Landschaften streife und neuen Monstern begegne.

Similar to its pen-and-paper predecessors, this game is a first in that it allows players to become a "Dungeon Master" during multiplayer matches. This means players can take control of the game in real-time by introducing new elements such as monsters, items, portals, and so on.

Zu einem Klassiker wie den beiden Baldur's-Gate-Titeln hat es diesmal für Bioware nicht ganz gereicht. Kleine Macken, wie etwa die mässig programmierte Wegfindung, trüben zwar den Spielspass ein wenig, unter dem Strich bleibt aber ein sehr gutes Rollenspiel, das mit 60 bis 70 Stunden Spielzeit im Solospiel und der Möglichkeit, eigene Welten zu erstellen, nicht nur für RPG-Freaks interessant sein dürfte.

So here it is. The one RPG to the rule them all. And bind them ... in the darkness ... or something. Seriously, Bioware first commenced work on this game almost five years ago back when Baldur's Gate was but a twinkle in their bearded eyes. The premise behind Neverwinter Nights? To create a set of tools that would allow us, the players, to recreate the immensely popular Dungeons and Dragons RPG experience on our PCs, complete with a highly user friendly 'construction kit' style world builder and support for live Dungeon Masters. In short, an RPG of ever increasing proportions delivering the power of game creation to the masses.

It's a very fun game: singleplayer is solid and enjoyable, weighed down by a slow pacing at first. Multiplayer is a blast, fulfilling all my expectations. I don't see myself shelving NWN multiplayer any time soon, and I'm even planning on playing the single player again, which I rarely do.

Neverwinter Nights zeigt mal wieder, dass sich ein umfangreiches und eigentlich trockenes Rollenspielregelwerk durchaus in einer angenehmen Art und Weise präsentieren lässt. Die Grafik ist sicherlich nicht die beste, die man bisher zu Gesicht bekommen hat und auch das stellenweise miese Pathfinding der Kumpanen zieht den sonst positiven Eindruck etwas nach unten. Dennoch ist und bleibt Neverwinter Nights eines der besten Rollenspiele seit langer Zeit und der spielend einfach zu bedienende Editor tut sein übriges.

Mit Neverwinter Nights steht allen RPGlern dieses Jahr schon die dritte Rollenspiel-Perle ins Haus. Neben Dungeon Siege und Morrowind darf auch Biowares jüngstes Elaborat in keiner vernünftigen Sammlung fehlen. Heraus kommt dabei ein bunter Cocktail aus dialoglastigem Rollenspiel und actiongeladenem Hack' n Slay, dass nicht nur durch lupenreine Optik, sondern auch mit durchdachtem Spielprinzip überzeugen kann.

It seems like Bioware has spent a lot of time working on their online system, what with the Aurora tools, DM client, and gameplay that's quite obviously built around the multiplayer mode they envisioned. These efforts have made the single player game too simple and linear, though, especially compared to the company's last few games - the story is not as engaging, the quests aren't as fulfilling, and the characters aren't as memorable.

Quite simply the biggest part of the game – multiplayer – has too many questions. None of these are BioWare’s fault. They delivered more than I ever thought possible.

Neverwinter Nights ist Fantasy mit Seele - ein packendes, unterhaltsames Rollenspiel. Aber es kann aufgrund technischer und spielerischer Tücken nicht nahtlos an die Brillanz von Baldur`s Gate 2 anknüpfen: Die neue Grafik-Engine lässt trotz einiger atmosphärischer Glanzpunkte und ansehnlicher Kampfanimationen wenig Feinheiten zu und bleibt insgesamt hinter Dungeon Siege zurück. Im Grunde liegt die wahre Leistung von BioWare aber im fantastischen Editor: Das Aurora Toolset stellt den innovativsten Schritt seit Jahren im Rollenspielbereich dar und ermöglicht endlich die Verschmelzung von Pen&Paper-Kreativität und PC-Technik.

Selten hat mich ein Spiel in den letzten Monaten so an den Bildschirm gefesselt und hat mir derart lange Nächte bereitet. 'Neverwinter Nights' stellt so ziemlich alles in den Schatten, was jemals an Rollenspielen dieser Art auf den Markt gekommen ist. Die Story ist wie gewohnt vom Feinsten, die Kämpfe spannend und jederzeit fair, die Quests und Rätsel umfangreich, ohne zu komplex zu werden. Der Editor, mit dem dank zahlreicher Hilfen selbst Anfänger klarkommen, ist vorbildlich und dürfte für reichlich Nachschub aus der Fangemeinde sorgen, so dass der Wiederspielbarkeit keine Grenzen gesetzt sind.
