Bioware CEOs Discuss Neverwinter Nights

Posted by simoniker on from the paging-doctor-ray-doctor-greg dept.

Thanks to GameSpy for posting an interview with Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk the CEOs of developer Bioware, about the Neverwinter Nights franchise and the success of the mod community. As Greg Zeschuk says, "It's actually kind of funny - in a sense it's a well-kept secret that some people don't realize.. the volume of [mods] is unbelievable". The article goes on to discuss RTS and even MMO mods that users are creating for the million-selling PC role-playing game, as well as touching on the Shadows Of Undrentide expansion pack, which is released on June 18th in the US.

    If you're not playing the community developed modules, you're really missing out. There are dozens that are a lot more fun than the official campaign.

    " I'm glad that someone finally revisted the D&D game area with some zeal and purpose. The old SSI games were (as far as I played) the last big push into that area (D&D, not fantasy in general). "

    Did you miss the whole Black Isle/Bioware D&D revival? Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2 (and their expansion packs), Icewind Dale, Icewind Dale 2 (which was the first good 3E game released), all of which were powered by various incarnations of the Infinity Engine.

    I'm not trying to flame, but the Infinity Engine games ended up as runners up for a couple "end of the year" awards.
