What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
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.
A multiplayer game that works both internet and lan, with options of editing the gameplay with GM settings to make it easier or harder.
Need to be sued. learn2code Good advice is to get a gysnc for monitor for this - lol -20+ year old game as it will solve most of the fps drops cuz again "coding is hard" and vysnc is a Plane of Hell and not a common graphics option in a game.

There are flavours of NWN for all kinds of players, the single player campaigns are fine, the expansions are actually quite good and worth some hours of fun, but they are greatly outshined by the dedicated multiplayer servers or “persistent worlds” which I have lost myself in for over 10,000 hours.
By default, the music drowns the voices out, but most of the voice acting is pretty terrible and low-effort stuff anyway, so perhaps that was a conscious choice. again, the previous games had much better voice acting (this is a theme that keeps coming up....), good sound mixing, etc.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
