Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game of my childhood, years of roleplaying in the long lost Ravenloft servers, first friendly interactions online, Community Expansion Pack to get faces and model, Aurora Toolkit to shape your campaign and a lot more - this is what NWN is for me, an incredible story (i can talk about Lady Aribeth's downfall or the wise buffoon. . .) and a simple gameplay, you don't need to be a D&D expert.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is a hardcore, permadeath, roleplay heavy server, and I find it strikes a perfect balance of well tuned gameplay, a huge open world, roleplay with a welcoming community, incredibly impressive custom content, DM interaction through events and story hooks, and a robust in-depth crafting system to make my ultimate DnD experience.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I haven't even scratched the surface of how it's like as a multiplayer (MMO or co-op) experience, but just from playing the 3 official campaigns and one 1 module, I can say it's a wholly unique time.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's an old game, and you can absolutely feel that in the interface, visuals, and combat.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Very complex combat and class system (DND 3E),dozens of spells, You need specific tactics for specific enemies
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The main campaign single player is good but not great IMO, Where it shines are in custom modules and content people have generated over the years and in coop play with friends with real game masters on the server.
