    With permission from BioWare and Infogrames, HomeLan has written about their impressions of the Neverwinter Nights beta.

    Once the character is created you actually start the tutorial prelude level as you move from NPC to NPC getting lessons and outfitting your character for the big adventure ahead. It’s here that a got the first chance to check out the game’s graphics. Simply put, our beta had the best looking graphics ever for an RPG of this type. People who have played and enjoyed Dungeon Siege (and judging from the sales of Gas Powered Games’s action-RPG there are a lot of you) should be absolutely blown away by the looks of this game. The character animations, lighting and levels of the beta are incredible to just look at. The lighting deserves special mention. Each light source casts a real shadow on the characters so you can actually see several shadows coming from your character and the NPCs. Flame, smoke and spell effects are also well handled.

    Read everything here.

    Neverwinter Nights has also been awarded Best RPG of E3 at Game Revolution.
