NWN's official single player campaign is one of the shittiest ever.
Making modules of your own was fun but that too is limited in scope.

It's not though, what point are you even trying to make?

>>739399440
never played it, the idea of having just one character in a CRPG sounds kinda boring to me.

Neverwinter Nights still has active community servers Boomers play on.

>>739399440
NWN was never meant to be a single player game
It was literally designed as an online/lan multiplayer game with one specific player being the DM and creating the plot on the fly for the most part albeit mixing in things as th ey're being made
The Wailing Death campaign was put in literally about a month before release since publishers finally accepted that 'we need some reason for people to actually buy it' due to the whole fucking retarded idea of 'it's all community made' so you launch the game, go online and have nothing - no world, no module, nothing.
Like they genuinely expected people to buy it, have someone act as the campaign maker and DM and build a fucking whole campaign

That's mostly why. It's still a bit popular
But for more detail: NPC companions are shit, combat is really fucking last luster, it's like an ARPG at times with you fighting 3-15 mobs easily, the Wailing Death campaign was considered very basic black bitch. Shadows of Undrentide hile better, was incredibly fucking shit uintil around chapter 3 and had a lot of stuff cut out for being 'too evil'. Like you were able to rescue the baby and give it to the red wizard, side with the goblins in the ktichen in the village, side with the kobolds and actually complete the campaign on behalf of the dragon, etc
at one point you were also meant to have the dragon put a spell on Deekin who would die if he ever disobeyed you so he was a companion out of fear of his life
HoTU was better but fuck me was it a Monty Haul situation of: here's your +4 weapon sir, and armour and your high end misc equipment, enjoy!

That all said, PRC with shit like endless dunegons is kino

play a dance with rogues. Never did. Never will but you should

>>739399440
it was an idea ahead of its time. the really cool aspect of NWN was the multiplayer dungeon master mode, where the DM could run a game in real time behind the curtain. i guess they implemented this because it was cool and felt like a true adaptation of the tabletop experience but there was no montetization pipeline for them to continue iterating on it
this idea still has legs, something more curated than the roblox/s&box slopfest that allows players to tell a cool story in an old style dnd campaign with live players.

>>739400225
>PRC with shit like endless dunegons is kino
but having actual tabletop classes breaks the game even harder than usual.
goddamn wilder/psion psychic reformation respeccing levels and resetting powerpoints at will or just shitting out broken psionic powers and leveling the room
fucking shapeshifting in nwn is broken and werewolf doesn't mesh well with natural weapon boosting classes but then there's dragonfire adept that can steal any shape at level 6 at will at the cost of having a shitty BAB forever. it's hilarious. Soul Eater is very strong as well, a 2 level dip in totemist and suddenly for no fucking reason you can swing 4 extra times with your weapon due to funky interactions with the girallon arm meld.

>>739400225
>dance with rogues
Unironically best porn game

>>739400667
NWN itself was never balanced, anon
It's why most persistant worlds banned or altered time stop and hide in plain site

PRC is unbalanced as fuck, yes but so is the base game to most degrees. Greater Sanctuary literally makes you invisible to everything

>>739400762
That would be Witch Trainer after I modded it some more

>>739399440

>>739400667
That’s the trick, 3.5 is inherently unbalanced. Embrace the madness

>muh oc campaign was bad
completely overblown. is it as good as the incredible HotU? no and it's not close. but it's still better than SoU imo. It has some stand out moments, the characters are great and it's packed with SOVL. the acts being formulaic would be my biggest criticism.

>>739400943
It's actually funny you brought it up vs SoU
SoU was an actual attempt at trying to write a story by professional writers
Wailing Death was apparently done by programmers who started playing DND sessions and pitched most of the ideas to a few writers who were hired last minute

>Single player was... le bad!
It was a perfect dungeon and dragons kind of game, it's not suppose to be all story. It's suppose to be fighting stuff.

>>739400943

Dude, not a single one of those three campaigns was even close to acceptable quality. You're arguing which of three flavors of shit tastes the best.

There are still player driven dedicated servers for this thing, bro.

NWN had an identity crisis. It was marketed as the latest Bioware RPG, but the campaign was very barebones. It was actually developed to be an RPG-maker style toolset for DMs to make their own campaigns, but because they didn't market it as such, tons of people never even bothered to open the campaign editor.

There are better hack and slash modules than the OC, which has horrible pacing issues and all of the trash can't do anything to you but waste your time and make you press R occasionally.

>>739399440
I don't know. Never played it. Wasn't really into PC gaming at that time. Seems to me a pretty significant amount of PC games from that era became forgotten about outside of the very tippy top of the popular PC games. If its Doom, Quake, Diablo, Half-Life, Starcraft, etc, its all remembered. The second tier of popular PC games like Gothic, Fallout 1 and 2, Painkiller, etc, all of these games are like a very distant second to the point of barely getting much discussion today. If Neverwinter Nights isn't even second tier then it would have to be a tier below in popularity and that means its probably very unpopular to the point people might not even remember it existing.

I only like the Aielund modules. Wailing Death is a poor man's Diablo with shitty loot and shitty encounters, SoU and HotU have really bad CR balance and annoying puzzles, and ADWR's excellent rogue gameplay is undermined by its retarded main plot.

>>739402034
NTR (not that retard) but I'd say a martial class is better for enduring the main campaign. Unless you want to rely on the hench'person' (I would love for them to use this term in the eventual remake) and rest after every three steps. After a few levels, any warrior class will start hitting frequently and stay healthy enough to continue with the incredibly boring encounters while exploring the maps/floors.

>>739402034
>NOOO I HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME!

I played through shadows over unrenndtide recently I was hyped to do the next one then I got a new android phone and haven't ported the save over. The android port by beamdog is actually really good
It's not as good as bg1 and 2 and the fact you can't uncenter the camera from your player character upsets me to no end. Sucks this was really biowares last hurrah for boomer rpgs. I didn't care for kotor or dragon age.

I haven't played in like 4 years but I'm sure it's still there.

My last run was fun. Played an orc in the Underdark, met up with orc bros. Muk Three Fingers was my character. Ended up getting an orcish bloodsword forged by a fellow orc bro smith, managed to convince a surface elf to craft Elven Mail for me, and risked my character on a perma deletion to kill The Beast in the Underdark pit fights to get the special belt.

I don't know. Honestly with modern resolutions and the EE the early 3d isn't even that bad, does a fine job of feeling like chunky D&D minis. And there are fucktons of good modules and campaigns out there and even when I bring NWN up with RPG chums they look at me like I'm a space alien. It's a shame because I've got one buddy that loves playing co-op Larian RPGs but absolutely will not touch NWN even if it would be hours of co-op adventure. Morrowind had a weird resurgence in popularity due to mods, I wish NWN would

It's not. It's substantially worse than BG1 for example. The only way it looks good is if you compare it to the other NWN1 campaigns, which are pure excrement.

Oh hey, POTM survivor!
I played through the 2nd half of Archipelago, the first half of the village, the first... quarter? Of Underdark (part 2), and maybe the first third of City of Rings. We got driven out of ring 99 last I heard.

The problem I had with it was the claims that 'you have 360 degrees of freedom' but that's blatantly not true. There's just things they will not let you do or change, and if you succeed too hard they'll undercut you. Saw it happen with this guy during EfU: M - some black templar mage named Fear-The-Three or something? Dude basically spent all his time clowning on Netherese Enclave that they had to DM fiat undo his wins.

Then there was the guy who was apparently a DM and just started his own guild (the Wayfinders) in Escape From the Underdark (part 2)

I still think about it. I still miss it. But it gave me ulcers.

>>739399440
>when all the other classic DND games so fondly remembered?

Remember Champions of Krynn?
Remember Ravenloft: Stone Prophet?

No?

I guess Neverwinter Nights is more memorable than those games, and so isn't the only D&D game that's forgotten. Half the reason that Neverwinter Nights is memorable is because there are three or four games named Neverwinter Nights, but still.

>>739403335
NWN persistent worlds were always sort of just close to being fun, roleplaying with other people was always a blast but the servers always had the fucking worst rules to try to limit EXP so no one could level up without being an unironic no-lifer, and usually made it so only low magic equipment was available which meant class balance was even worse than the vanilla game.

The community content aspect was cool but a mixed bag and single player experiences were never the game's strength. It turned out to be best for persistent worlds, which suffered from the same disease as old internet forums where the mods and admins go on power trips, create and enforce overbearing rules, play favourites among players, and blow up their communities out of the blue in dramatic internal shit fights. Compared to a classic CRPG experience like Baldur's Gate, it's just harder to share nostalgia about something as niche as an NWN persistent world without people IRL looking at you funny.

best way to describe NWN PW's is it was like being in a guild in an MMO except the guild officers were also the GM's and Lead Devs for the game.

>Improved Knockdown

This game is soo easy LMAO.

I'm working on a new PW that will have a level cap of 60
I'm trying to come up with a "light" progression system on top of the existing leveling that will mostly complement high-level characters
So far I'm thinking maybe each class starting at 15 can gain a new instant use ability every 5 levels
Most of these would be assigned to the F keys (or NUI buttons) and they'd have cooldowns instead of refreshing on rest (space bar will also be used, but I'm thinking that will be used for item-based unique abilities)
The logic is easy; I just have to learn how the new UI works so I can use it to show the skills menu and the cooldowns
Or IDK, maybe I'll just use PRC instead... is it well-balanced?

>>739399440
I'm a boomer but NWN is one of like three games I'd call actually clunky to play

I'm pretty sure the level cap of 40 is hardcoded

>>739399721
You can have a party on the base game, but you can't adjust their skills or equipment. I think they allowed full customisation in the expansions - regardless, going solo is your own decision

It comes up on this board and others every week and in fact has a small but perpetually dedicated fanbase that play on the Persistent Worlds, of which there are quite a few. There are even some for the failed abortion that was the second game.

If what you're asking is "Why don't they make new single-player campaigns for a game that's 25-odd years old", I would call you an absolute retard for even asking, if they hadn't actually done that too recently. Go buy the extra campaigns if that's what you want, you troglodyte, they made some. Or just play one or several or the PWs, they're free. In short, it hasn't been forgotten at all. Here's your (You), faggot.

>>739403042
>I've heard the Underdark DLC campaign is unironically incredible
It's way fucking better than the vanilla campaign and certainly very very good, personally I wouldn't say it was incredible, but easily in the top ten as far as old CRPG's go for me and if you've played through the vanilla campaign you absolutely should treat yourself to it.

Unfortunately it's not something you can really reccomend people just play instead of the vanilla campaign though as it kinda throws you in the deep end and assumes you understand a bunch. The vanilla campaign is really like a massively bloated and drawn out tutorial in a lot of respects.

Campaign modules were a natural fit for CRPG's honestly, closer to mini-expansions than what i'd typically associate with DLC.

No one ever had a problem with supporting more good quality content for a game, most good games even back then had expansions, unfortunately we somehow went from expansions to rubbish like oblivions horse armour real fucking quick.

>>739420851
>The only good things that came from NWN were Dance with Rogues and Gladiatrix
ok coomer

>>739421024
Aielund. It's a standard fantasy adventure from level 1 to 37ish. There's a fade to black sex scene in the final module if you romance the princess but it's such a minor component of the story that it's easily forgettable or missable.

>>739420851
ADWR is a good module, with a lot of variety, a city setting, some cool rogue stuff that most modules miss... but Gladiatrix is pretty bad. I dont know why people like it. Its a generic fighter arena module.

>>739421024
>Is there any good custom module that aren't "good" solely because you get low-poly-pussy in it?
Plenty, just look up anyone's top 10 list of best modules or whatever, then make sure it isn't on this list.

https://neverwintervault.org/article/reference/adult-content-modules-nwn1-means-not-kids-sex-and-dark-themes

It's really only Gladiatrix and A Dance with Rogues that are high quality and horny.

>>739421426
I also dislike Gladiatrix. It has exactly the wrong mix of arena and adventure, and the module's area design is ludicrously huge and empty so it takes fucking forever to walk anywhere.

>>739403042
true, it's very good. very memorable and gives you that feeling of "holy shit, this game means business"
after the base campaign I expected this one to end much earlier than it actually did and I was in awe how deep it was

Because lilura is a cunt who removed the comprehensive modules list from the website, here's the archive.

It's funny how some like Darkness Over Daggerford have since seen official release for EE.

>>739399440
Base game is boring crap, lots of mods, however, are great.

>bioware was unknowingly on the forefront
Falcom was doing paid modules for their CRPGs in the 80s where all of your party/character data was saved on one floppy disc and campaigns were sold on another floppy disc, which led to an explosion of official campaigns, fan-made campaigns, and third party campaigns.

Keyword here is DLC.

>>739403042
>I've heard the Underdark DLC campaign is unironically incredible
It's not a BG1/2 by any stretch.
The first part is really nice.
The second part feel kinda bland because while it's nice as an adventure, the overarching goal and fake urgency is just an annoyance since your character can easily win the final battle by himself.
The last part range from cool to atrocious, too many time-wasting gimmick. I guess is hell is not supposed to be fun, but still: the slow-and-tedious type of not fun was probably not the best choice for a vidya.

Saleron's Gambit. It manages to make a low level adventure fun, every chapter feels unique, the writing is good, and it has plenty unique ways to resolve quests that depend on your class and sometimes stats, feats or avalable spells.

>>739421024
Ehhh the porn ones are only aimed at wamen.

The OC is fine desu, generic but totally serviceable.

>>739403042
It's much better than the original so people think it's amazing by contrast but it's merely quite good

>>739425327
I agree. It’s overhated because the fan campaigns and modules released after were of much higher quality.

Any other decent coom modules besides adwr?

>>739399440
because it's boring

>>739428991
Holobased

>>739425327
>The OC is fine
If the OC was fine it would've been remembered fondly. It's a demo for the editor and nothing more.

>>739429251
I remember it fondly.

>>739429375
I'm sorry, anon, that must be rough.

>>739399440
Because it sucks and was a complete downgrade from Infinity Engine isometric kino

>>739403042
It's a matter of contrast .After an campaign that lasts 30 hours and gets you to level 15, and then another that lasts 15 hours and gets you to level 15, an expansion where you start at level 15 straight away, that showers you with powerful (+4 in the first hour) and varied items, and where you can have more than one companion (something that should have been there from the beginning) it's like... dude! fucking something finally!

People skipped the multiplayer. The modules were so good. Nordock was one of my favorites

>>739399440
i dunno about completely forgotten, I just bought nwn2 everything edition on ps5 for easter cause long story short I bought that a looong time ago for pc and lost the fucking key so I didn't get to play 2.

1 RP servers (not erp well I wasn't there for erp...) were peak af, shame about the admins at the time, who i apparently made cry and left the server (deserved for fucking with me. don't require an essay for "special stuff" and reply with just "no", fuck you.)

Always found it interesting there are two groups of D&D players. Who really enjoy the early parts and those who live for epic levels.

>>739424401
Mordenkainen's disjunction
Very cool visual and sound effects to go with it and it dispels buffs in a large area of effect making players absolutely seethe

>>739400225
>NWN was never meant to be a single player game
One of the loading screen prompts in og BG2 was import your character into the upcoming NWN.

haste hellball timestop
*360 moonwalks away* nuclear limit break (nwn1) in that order. its incredibly funny to watch people panic while they can't move staring at a singularity thats about to turn them into paste

>start casting hellball

>other player then interrupts their queue and cast hellball while I spam counterspells on them

Good times

>>WOTC was so overbearing during development that Bioware decided to never work with them again, leading them to come up with their own IP for Dragon Age and Mass Effect
and now Larian has undergone the same cycle. i can't wait for Divinity 3, bros.

>>739403042
Reminder that Underdark is a direct sequel to Undrentide so you're expected to have played that first. It's also a pretty good lower level campaign.
NWN's base campaign is kinda shit but I like to point out that BioWare basically recycled it wholesale for KotOR and Mass Effect.

Swordflight has tons of class related quests, skill checks and large cities to explore.

>only ever played official stuff
Weird that I never bothered with the community modules back then.
Time to rectify that.
>get the NIT tool to install custom stuff because
>install 6 gorillons community packages
Usual with community mods, why not.
>last chapter is corrupted, can't install it
Whatever, let's at least see the beginning.
>click on "Play"
>it alt-tab from the game
Ah yeah. Now I remember why.

>>739432579
>not playing Swordflight because you want to hatefuck Zarala
ngmi

It's not, it's just almost a quarter century old and its default campaign, while serviceable, is not exactly standout writing.

>>739433297
ok zoomer

>>739431960
>It's also a pretty good lower level campaign.
Fuck no it isn't. One third is just a retread of the first chapter of Wailing Death, one third is total filler, and the last third is mostly just giant fetchquests and "dungeons" invalidated by an item enchanted with "find traps".
