im a big baldurs gate fan,so all i want to know is....is nwn any good,is it similiar,different what?hope you guys can help!

 

I'm assuming that you like BG for the involving story, and not just as a hack-n-slash game. If so, NWN is pretty much like BG. Except it's designed as a single player game.

The henchmen in NWN are quite competent and can make up for any skills you lack, so you won't have to worry about having to make a jack of all trades char, and can still concentrate on a theme for your main char.

The fact that the game is geared toward a single char may be confusing if you're more used to having control of a large group, as you do not have full control of your henchman.

Personally, I don't find this a problem, as I always played BG with just my main char, and left my group behind, rarely having one or two of them actually following me into combat.

 

I like not having to worry about a huge party. your henchman look after themselves as far as equiment and skills go so basicly it alot more like real AD&D
you have your char you power them up any equipment you find goes to this char or you sell it. in that regard it kinda more like Diablo then BG but it is far more indepth then diablo and the quests are great so in terms of everything except your char the game is like BG
in my opinion you get the best of both worlds

 

thanks for the info!

 

This game is heaven in a box. Look at my post here to find out what I think.

 

This is more than a game, it's a Game - Changer. By giving us all the abiliy to write our own games comparable in quality to proffesionaly made ones they have let a genie out of the bottle. A massive fan based community will make this the gaming experience for the next 5 years. Get on board or spend your time outside wondering what all the fuss is about!
