Neverwinter Nights Coming to Linux

Lurker writes "Neverwinter Nights is coming to Linux! BioWare, the developer of the hit roleplaying game, Baldur's Gate, recently unveiled their next big project at the annual GenCon conference in Milwaukee. Neverwinter Nights, their new title, will be a multiplayer roleplaying game based on TSR's new 3rd Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons® ruleset. Set in and around the cities of Neverwinter and Luskan, in the far northern reaches of the Forgotten Realms® gameworld, the game will ship with a strong story, a powerful editor suite dubbed the Solstice Toolset, and the ability to enter the gameworld and modify it in real-time as an omniscient Dungeon Master. Neverwinter Nights will be powered by a variation of Omen, BioWare's own 3D engine developed for their visually stunning action game, MDK2, and will be published by Black Isle Studios, a division of Interplay. Make sure to read the last line of the About NWN page "We are developing simultaneously for PC, Mac, and Linux." "

  1. This is the perfect pace... by dmorin · · Score: 3
    Months ago, while waiting for Civ:CTP to hit the shelves, I bought Q1+Q2 with all the mission packs (having never played through the mission packs). Just last night I finished Q1's missions, and installed Q2 this morning. After I finish those, I'll have Civ:CTP to tackle. Then, MythII. Then, Neverwinter Nights. Then, something else.

    I don't know why people are saying there are no games, I'm having a blast.
