Posted by CmdrTaco on from the gimme-some-of-that-action dept.

Urthpaw writes "Neverwinter Nights, the D&D based RPG from BioWare (Makers of Baldur's Gate among other titles), for Windows, MacOS and Linux has Gone gold. The game allows players to make their own "modules", or adventures, and DM them for up to 64 friends. Server-linking features allow the assembly of distributed MMORPGs."

  1. Speaking as a long time gamer... by sterno · · Score: 5, Funny

    I got into role playing in middle school, and let me tell you:

    YOUR MOM WAS RIGHT!

    It was such a nautral progression to go from fighting dragons with my ranger to sacrificing virgins to the great dark lord. I don't play as much anymore, but every so often when I get bored with smoking crack and drinking the blood of the unworthy, I'll get some people together for a game. It's a great game and I highly recommend giving it a try sometime.

  2. Couldn't they have waited??? by allism · · Score: 5, Funny

    We have to move in three weeks, and I know my husband is gonna be just WORTHLESS he actually gets a copy of this...I wonder how much it would cost to get them to delay the in-store availability to July 7--whatever the cost, it would be worth it so that I wouldn't have to pack and move our apartment alone...

    Thanks, BioWare, for making my life miserable...

  3. Managing your addiction by sam_handelman · · Score: 5, Funny

    Gaming can take over your life, or it can be an enriching escape from worthwhile, but stressful activities. My Summer is gonna be extra stressful:

    10 hrs/day Work (I'm a researcher / grad student)

    ouch! Once I've prioritized that, I can use my time management skills to arrange it so that playing this Summer's hot new games doesn't become a substitute for crack.

    4 hrs/day Heroes IV: Tournament of Honor
    4 hrs/day Neverwinter Nights
    4 hrs/day Master of Orion III
    2 hrs/day Smoking Crack

    all 24 hours a day are filled with stimulating activities, without displacing my drug habit. Also, by deleting wasteful food from my schedule, I'll be able to lose that weight without becoming physically active.

    The good and new comes from no quarter where it is looked for, and is always something different from what is expected.
  4. Re:Linux version not in-box? by startled · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't worry. Given the standard computer game release cycle, you'll likely get the Linux version around the time the game finally becomes playable.
