    The game is awesome. 9/10 only because my computer is slow and it lags a lot.

    7/10

    I've completed and enjoyed it and I'm still playing it and trying out the toolset but I it disappointed in quite a few ways.

    Considering the amount of time spent creating NWN, I'm surprised the singleplayer wasn't better. Yes I know it was meant to be a multiplayer game but most people will start out with the singleplayer and the Baldurs Gate series was so good in terms of storyline and content I'm surprised they didn't do better. Its not bad though (just not great).

    The henchman were quite poor - why can't you get them to stand in front of you?

    Its not bug free by any means.

    The silliest thing that I disliked about NWN was the portraits. I often create characters based on a portrait I like but there were so few I liked that this was hard (I've now got all the BG2/IWD ones so its doesn't matter).

    On the upside 3rd edition rules are good and I prefer the experience system to the fixed one of BG/BG2/IWD although it does have its quirks.

    I like the graphics - theyre not as good in terms of technology as Morrowind but I like the style better.

    The toolset is fantastic apart from the corruption thing which I'm sure will be fixed soon. I'm still getting to grips with it but it is enjoyable. There are bound to be some great user created modules comeing out soon.

    8/10

    Im starting to like the 3E idea, but hell I hated it when I first started, and yeah I'd prefer 2Edition, but its a nice change. The animations are great but all I can really say is the gameplay is great and the characers and quality is perfect but...
    I just dont like a 3D Dungeons and Dragons game lol. IWD & BG engine is how I prefer :p but thats just me

    The game and world interaction is ok, but it is a lot weaker than BG2:SoA, by that I mean, BG2 was a 10 and this gets a 7. The game isn't weak, but you just can't compare it to BG2.

    I'm one of those peoples who had started BG2 50+ times and can memorize every single cutscene from Chap. 1 to Chap. 5. Ah, this beats BG2 BY FAR!

    BG suc...err...nothing. I thought the Oringinal BG was better tho. As for NWN, it's quite cool, pretty cool, and the henchmen are really...interesting, with their own personality and story. So 9/10. Plus I have the worst graphic settings and it's still one of the best I've seen.

    [​IMG] Really nice game till now. Actually I'm especially impressed about the side-effects of stats like int and wis and how they were implemented in the game, even more now that I play an int-12 char ;)

    Graphics are sweet and the quests, though mainly fed-ex type, are really nice - they and the exploring remind me a little of BG-1.
     
  11. Great impressions here. Although for me it's slightly graphically choppy at times.

    I'd say it's a 6 out of 10 for single player campaign. It doesn't have much replay value. It has a pretty steep price. I don't do multiplayer at all and I haven't played with the DM portion so the score could go up or down. Graphically very good. Story very bad. Does lock up on occasion. Interface good. Story very linear.
