    A nice little preview of NWN was posted at PC Gameplay. It basically is an overview of what the game will be about, its options, multiplayer/single player gameplay, and all the freedoms you will have. There are also quite a few screen shots just in case you're wondering. Check out this little section of the post:

    Is it possible for people to have too much freedom? And what would happen if there were no rules? It's like Lenin said: "Where there is freedom, there will be no state”. Yet a revolutionary software team operating out of the fashionable Whyte Avenue area of downtown Edmonton, Canada, doesn't believe there's such a thing as too much freedom. The party calls itself Bioware, Neverwinter Nights is its manifesto, and the only rules it goes by come in a manual marked 'Dungeon and Dragons: Third Edition’.

    But what if Lenin's right, and people can't be trusted with total freedom? For instance, it'll be possible to create a single room that automatically awards the player 5,000,000 experience points purely for entering it, thus levelling up the character instantly. Rest assured, Bioware is well aware of the possibilities for cheating, and with this in mind has created the official Neverwinter Character Vault as an optional facility for players who wish to play on a "fair playground."

    The vault works by storing your character on a central server, taking a record of it and filtering it through a series of tests on return. If you take a Level 5 character out for two hours and return it at Level 17, the vault will disallow this as unfair advancement over the time period and adjust your ranking accordingly. Zeschuk admits this may not be the perfect system, but at least it gives players who wish to exist in a cheat-free utopia an island in the sun and a bucket and spade to get them started.

    The full article is posted here.
