    Bruce Nielson has written an article published in the Escapist in response to a previous article by Max Steele describing NWN as a game like any other cRPG. The new article attempts to present the ways in which NWN is different from and unlike anything else, including pen and paper gaming and has its own strengths and advantages over the aforementioned. Here's a snip:

    Perhaps it is not surprising that people try to fit NWN, into familiar molds. Looking at massive NWN fan projects such as "Hardcore Rules," which attempts to rewrite Neverwinter Nights to be closer to PnP D&D, or the myriad of NWN online persistent worlds, it's not hard to see that NWN has a large following from people that want it to be the same as a PnP RPG. It's hard for them to see it in any other light.

    Read the whole thing at The Escapist.
