    TechTV (4/5):

    Despite a few shortcomings "NWN" is an amazing achievement in RPGs and one any fan of the genre should pay attention to. Ignoring the adventures you can create or share with friends, the mod community surrounding this game is growing by leaps and bounds. Soon the very best RPG content will be free and downloadable by anyone with the game. The potential is all there, just waiting to be seized. Zounds! It doesn't take an 18-wisdom score to see that.

    Virtues:

    All in all Neverwinter Nights has lost a lot compared to Baldurs Gate. The game feels like a complete redesign of the engine and it by far isn't as done as BG used to be. In addition to that not only was the rich and complex AD&D ruleset replaced with the rather simple D&D one, but the whole playing experience has gone a similar path.
    If you aren't easily bored and like a strong storytelling element, this game might keep you busy for a bit. Else - stay way from it.

    While the poster of the virtues review actually has a few good points about the game, points alot of the die hard DnD population aren't really wanting to admit, his whole review is shot with the first few lines, essentially stating NWN is a sequal to BG?? His credibility doesn't get any better, as it seems he was more looking to rip into the game for not being what Baldur's Gate was as opposed to fairly going over its strength's and weaknesses. Note to sites: keep reviews out of the hands of people that don't want to professionally go about it. It completely tarnishes the reviewer and doesn't reflect well on your site either.
