im kind of strapped for cash now so ive been very choosy about what games i get. but when i heard about neverwinter nights, it sounded almost too good to be true. but i must ask for a rating by other expierienced gamers and what they think about it. and could someone give me the link to the main site, as im to lazy to find it myself

I play online at persistant world, and its awesome. The multiplayer, some of the downloadable modules, the DM client, and the toolset are all great.

The single player campaign that comes with it though is incredably boring. I haven't bothered to finish it. Its a bit of a disappointment, considering Bioware's usual great job.

What are some of your other options for games? Have you tried Planescape: Torment?

Neverwinter Nights uses 3rd edition rules, yes. Quiet different from the BG2 rules...

Planescape: Torment is a game where you play an immortal human with amnesia. It is by far the best D&D RPG out there...roleplaying wise.

I second all of Gaxx_Firkragg's points.

If you are looking for a single player rpg with a great story and enjoy the 2d view of baldurs gate - then get Planescape - best of all it can be had for under $10 at Wal-mart.

If you want to play a multiplayer game that simulates pen and paper D&D - Neverwinter Nights will fit the bill. Just don't expect the included single player game to be much fun except as basic training for the game features.
