Thankfully, you can choose a companion in the temple to join you in your fetch quest. Now Aribeth asks you to go retrieve the components of the cure and help the four districts which have fallen into chaos because of the plague. But suddenly, the “hero academy” is attacked! You must fight through some goblins, but at the end, all other recruited heroes are dead, and the enemy has scattered the components of a possible cure across the four districts. This is such a random decision, but the “hero academy” functions as a tutorial. You start out at the “hero academy,” and you were essentially recruited off the street to help fight the plague and find a cure. The military mobilizes and works with the wizards to attempt to make a cure, and they begin recruiting for their “hero academy.” Aribeth is a paladin and the leader of the military, Fenthick is her lover, and Lord Nasher is the ruler of Neverwinter, and Desther is Fenthick’s friend who needs the components to make the cure. The story is as follows: a plague is ravishing the city of Neverwinter, and the four city districts are in chaos. I subclassed into a paladin as it made narrative sense, and I wanted to do a little role-playing to keep the game interesting. My alignment was lawful good, which happened to be how the OC is meant to be played. I played as a dwarf fighter, with a rapier as my main weapon I wanted to keep it simple for my first playthrough. The OC starts with a character creator, where you can select your gender, race, class, alignment, and some skills. However, the OC (original campaign) is disappointing, especially when compared to the community-created module and premium DLC modules. It has a ton of content and isn’t too difficult to understand unlike other CRPGs can be. Neverwinter Nights seemed like a perfect choice. KOTOR was the first CRPG I had ever played, and I wanted to scratch that same itch with a new game. It has a wonderful way of pulling me into the world of Star Wars, combined with engaging gameplay and a standout story. My favorite game of all time is KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic). Naturally, the game gained a large following, and the release and continual updates of the enhanced edition ensure it still has a stalwart community creating new modules and mods. No other CRPG of this scale allows players to build huge worlds with such freedom. For the time, this was revolutionary, and it still is. These worlds could be combined into modules, allowing for an entire D&D campaign to be built. While many other CRPGs were officially licensed from WOTC, Neverwinter Nights was different from all the rest: it allowed players to build entire worlds and D&D campaigns in the game and play with a group of friends in those constructed worlds remotely or locally. This will typically take the form of D&D-like systems, and this game is no exception being a sanctioned WOTC (Wizards of the Coast) D&D game, taking place in the Forgotten Realms. CRPG is a genre all about bringing TTRPGs (tabletop role-playing games) to PC. Neverwinter Nights is a CRPG (computer role-playing game). ![]() I will be playing the enhanced edition on PC for this review. While the game was originally released on PC, it has come to consoles including the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation Four in the form of an enhanced edition, released in 2019. Game Information: Neverwinter Nights was published in 2002 by Bioware and Obsidian. ![]() NOTE: This review will contain spoilers for the Original Campaign of Neverwinter Nights.
