Introduction

Perhaps one of the most touted games in recent months, Neverwinter Nights is the latest offering from Bioware, the original creators of the Baldurs Gate series. To a hell of a lot of gamers this means a hell of a lot. It also utilizes the brand new Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition rules. This, also means a hell of a lot to a hell of a lot of gamers. To me it means jack (Jack’s a very nice bloke but not someone you’d call a friend).
What I do care about is the games much touted character development system which supposedly allows the player to create any character their mind can concoct. But how much 'freedom' does this allow the RPG fan and how far have Bioware pushed the boundaries of the RPG genre?

Compatibility



My recent upgrade to Windows XP has given me a surprising reduction in the RAM department, and my Graphics Card is beginning to show its age. However the game runs admirably and most of the video options were both available and working happily away. (The shimmering water effect apparently requires a GeForce 3 ti or higher card, looks like it’s time to upgrade...again!). It does appear that this game makes use of all a graphics card’s bells and whistles and those lucky so and sos that have a card resembling a Morris dancing festival will be very pleased.
