  1. Playing it now! by katpurz · · Score: 5, Interesting

    More camera control...finally Small level compared to previous expansion or original module, but still fun... Mostly a developers/builders set of tiles/creatures.. One of the funnest games (NWN) I've played in years...

  2. Does anyone else find these games a bit linear? by God+Hates+Liberals · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I really enjoyed Neverwinter's game engine, and found it expounded upon all others, but storyline still hasn't evolved beyond 'pick the response which you think will lead to another exchange between this character'

    They throw Alignment in there, and then give you 'good' and 'evil' roles to play, which consist basically of:

    Good? Offer to do everything for free, see most of the game.

    Evil? Push for a bit of profit in every encounter, get shut out about a third of the time. Miss that much of the game.

    You'll find me buying the expansion pack where player's choices are the axial decision in gameplay, not the plot-designer's.
