The Revival of Neverwinter Nights Campaign
- Thread starter zordren3742
- Start date
The game is still in beta and there is a lot of work left to be done. The player base will not grow back over night, that is what these post are about, letting people know. Every server on that list 2 weeks ago that that list had less than 200 people right now i'm looking it has has 611. I don't expect this game to become as popular as pubg or anything but it is cool to see people coming back.
Actually, you can, even if you don't own the download only ones:Bobular said:

Have the Diamond edition off GOG and Infinite Dungeons, Pirates and Wyvern Crown all work fine.
So... You don't want to play online?Saelune said:
Most of those PW's have custom content packs that you need to download, from their website, in order to play on the server. For the ones where you don't, all you have to do is enter the direct IP once and then save the server as a favourite.
Because your argument doesn't make much sense.Saelune said:
You say you want the EE version so you can play online, but there's nothing stopping you from playing online now.
When the EE is out, you're still going to have to "jump through a bunch of shitty hoops" in order to play online.
valve provides the steam functionality(which is only included in the steam-drm version of the EE, I believe), so you're still just paying 20$ for a couple of minor, graphical tweaks.
This made me realise that I have the original game on my GoG account (somehow).
Downloaded, and installed; another game I'm hopefully able to sink my teeth into.

No, you keep saying things that I dont want to do as if they are simpler than what it should be.Tayh said:
Whats stopping me from playing NWN online now is having to go to third party sites to find extra info to learn how to go through extra hoops to play on sparsley populated servers.
With it out on Steam with integrated multiplayer, not only will getting online be simpler, but the number of people consistently playing is going to significantly increase.
With the way Beamdog took it upon themselves to make the previous D&D games 'better' through dubious gameplay changes, I will probably stick with the originals. It would be nice if they eventually learned, or at least found a game designer that could blend their new ideas into the classic system(s). But that would be hoping, and hope leads to the dark side. As does loot boxes, and pre-orders.
Do you mean, a really good story and characters that try to carry you through the seemingly good but utter broken gameplay mechanics that eventually ground you down until I don't know whether to call this a good game or not?Arnoxthe1 said:
Actually, I heard NWN2 was exactly like that but I never got around to play it.
Divinity has so much going for it, but it undercuts itself. I probably still would call it good, but with a bitter taste.
Yes becuase Baulder's Gate combat is what makes that game great. I don't think Beamdog added much but they certainly didn't make it worse - as it was pretty low already4Aces said:
NWN2 felt like it regressed from its predecessor in many ways. I heard Mask of the Betrayer was good, story-wise, but that's literally the only good thing I can say about it. They even took out the fantastic character portraits in NWN and replaced them with these lame generic little pictures. I think it was just death by a thousand cuts here.trunkage said:
Yeah. I agree with this. BG1/2 used this armor system from a pretty old D&D ruleset that was just astoundingly broken. It's actually the main reason why I'm not playing those.trunkage said:
Yeah... Good luck with that.Saelune said:
Considering EE will need its own EE-PWs, already-established server admins will have to decide whether it's worth alienating their entire current playerbase, in favour of whoever buys this NWN1-EE version, to migrate their servers to EE - or if they're just going to stick with 1.69 and its client extensions, custom scripts, hakpaks and other miscellaneous 1.69-specific content.
And if they're building a vanilla PW from scratch, it'll probably take a while, at least, before it'll even be in a playable state.
Regardless, my claim that this release is overhyped still stands.
