Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Neverwinter Nights has captured the minds and hearts of PC gamers worldwide with one of the most captivating Dungeons and Dragons role-playing experiences to ever grace a computer screen. Based in the Forgotten Realms, the Neverwinter Nights Gold Edition game gives gamers a chance to rediscover the magic, extend the experience, or even explore it anew.

Neverwinter Nights Gold Edition game is an incredible value featuring one of best-selling and most critically acclaimed role-playing games of all time in Neverwinter Nights; the best-selling first expansion pack, Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide; and a number of stand-alone modules previously available only as downloadable content. The Neverwinter Nights Gold Edition game is the perfect introduction to the Neverwinter Nights universe whether you're a first-time player or a veteran of the role-playing genre--gamers won't want to miss this.

The Neverwinter Nights Gold Edition game features all of the most compelling aspects of Neverwinter Nights gaming including an extensive 80-hour official campaign, which is also playable in multiplayer mode; the amazing Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset which lets players create their own adventures, and the Dungeon Master client that allows players to step into the shoes of the Dungeon Master to tell their own stories; and, most importantly, access to an absolutely thriving player community brimming with content and support.

The Neverwinter community is one of the most compelling aspects of Neverwinter Nights. Fans who purchase the Gold Edition gain immediate access to almost 3,000 community made modules. With the quantity and quality of fan created content, a seemingly inexhaustible source of creativity, Neverwinter fans are provided with an unprecedented amount of replayability.

The Neverwinter Nights Gold Edition game also includes the complete first official expansion pack Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide. Additional features include a new extensive single player campaign and new skills, including Tumble and Appraise; new feats, such as Divine Might, Great Cleave, and Bullheaded; new weapons, such as Holy Water Flasks and Choking Powder; five new prestige classes, including the Blackguard, Shadowdancer, and Assassin; new monsters from the D&D universe, including the Pit Fiend, Cockatrice, Sphinx, and Manticore; and more than 50 additional spells.

In addition, the expansion pack equips module makers with additional content for the Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset, the groundbreaking software included with the full game that allows players to create their own universes, quests, and storylines. The toolset is augmented with all new tile sets for creation of new environments as well as new "Wizards," or automated guides, to help gamers build and play adventures of their own creation.

The Neverwinter Nights Gold Edition game also gives players a chance to experience some of the most popular and exciting modules created using the Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset. Modules are complete stand-alone adventures that allow players to take part in entirely new stories and adventures within their favorite Dungeons & Dragons worlds. The modules include:

  • The Winds of Eremor--Find yourself stranded on the foreboding island of Eremor, shipwrecked days away from any known shoreline. What mysteries could this island hold?
  • To Heir is Human--Face the mighty drow in a quest to retrieve the only heir of a baron of Battledale.
  • The Dark Ranger's Treasure--This moody adventure takes you to Deadman's Marsh, a treacherous place from which you may not return.
  • BioWare's Contest of Champions!--Pit your mightiest warrior, your deadliest assassin and your most feared spell-caster against the best the world has to offer in BioWare's Contest of Champions!

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring!, Dec 25 2005
By Todd Elgert "Mr_Z" (Alberta) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This game is a pleasant visual experience for sure, but it's SO boring. Another reviewer mentioned that it's like a slow Diablo hack'n slash. That's about it. It's like Diablo on LSD and heroin. Lot's of pretty stuff but slooooooow. The character combat is very frustrating. Your adventurer battles like he's some kind of wussy boy waiting for an invitation. In the meantime, some totally wimpy enemy is whooping his arse.
Boy, does your character ever die a lot. I mean LOTS! And you get penalized a fair amount every time you want to respawn or return to a place you teleported from (with some rock some girl gives you) to heal.

At the off chance that someone slipped me some crack, I played a supposedly easy scenario with pre-made characters. It's a single battle where your PC fights a bunch of not-so-giant rats. Good practice right? At dying! The guy can't even fight hard enough to kill some rats! All he did was die! This game is so massively lame.

Personally I think these (version 3?) D&D rules suck. Your character learns a bunch (LOTS) of skills that he/she is way too stupid to use. Only a few of them have any game value. I really, REALLY expected more from this game. This isn't any more fun than those old crumby gold box SSI D&D games. I can't believe I wasted money on this! As far as the toolset goes, it's far too complex a procedure to go through just to have your character be too stupid to defend himself and die.

The only reason this game gets 2 stars is because a)it looks really really good, and b) the movement and views and environment interaction is good. Now if your character could just survive an attack from a robber or a puny rat, we might have an actual game here.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gets a little tedious - not for children, Jul 19 2004
By Anthony (Waterloo) - See all my reviews
Never have I played such a visually stunning and impressively massive game. It is just enormous. There are so many places to go and people to talk to it's incredible. That said this game lacked a little something. As much as it was fun to complete quests and roam the picturesque landscape it really got repetitive after a while. All the characters stood pretty stationary and in some areas the quest line could be very easily broken if you weren't careful. The beasts weren't very challenging to fight either. Often all it took to kill a beast is a couple of swipes with your blade; this even includes many of the greater beasts. This game is more about storey line than anything and the themes start to recur after a while. The characters lack voice - while people do greet you with an auditory comment that is all they ever say. It is up to you to engage them and click through the mass of topics they have to talk about and memorize what they have to say.

I also wouldn't suggest allowing children to play this game as it has many adult themes. For example: Slaves - which you can free or engage in buying / selling. Stripper clubs - where you can talk with the actively dancing girls. Homosexuals - which will require you to strip your clothing in order to advance a level. Gangs - most which will request you to eliminate other gangs. Theft - which you will get away with as long as your stealthy or strong enough.

In all this is an impressive game simply because of sheer size and beauty. Otherwise it is lacking depth.

2.0 out of 5 stars What is this?, April 22 2004
By A Customer
I recently bought NWN Gold because I had heard so much good about. People I know who had been in love with Diablo 2/Warcraft/Starcraft quit it to play this. After a little over 12 hours of gameplay, I've concluded that this game overall, sucks.

Why?

A couple of major issues. First off, it's run online by gamespy network. Talk about a poor setup. The friends list takes 15+ minutes to actual find anyone on there that's online, and the overall feel is just...sloppy.

Finally (yes only two flaws managed to make me hate this game) is the gameplay. Everyone seems to love BioWare, but this game honestly isn't much different from their other games. Their D&D 3 edition rules setup isn't that bad, but after playing KotoR and Baldur's Gate, etc. it felt like BioWare just changed a couple of textures and spell names, and then packaged it with a new game name. The real problem I found was how slow this was. The biggest advantage this game was "supposed" to have was being above and beyond the hacknslash. Hah, pure deception. It just runs like a much much slower Diablo 2, and does all the attacking automatically. Not to mention how sluggish the characters move.

The graphics are great however, and the music is top knotch.

The problem is, alot of reviews are trying to make this game sound like something it is not. It is hacknslash, except it does all the hacking and slashing at a snails pace.

Commendable effort, but it amounted to nothing to this gamer.

While this is a great package of a great game and its expansion one should be aware of the European version of the "Gold Edition" which does not include neither manual nor map.
