One of the greatest _online_ RP experiences I've ever had. Back in 2003 when the game first came out, I was simply looking for another game to quench my insatiable thirst for another action RPG after Diablo 2. I had no idea what it was, and with my very limited understanding of english at the time of purchase, all I really had to go by with the box art. Needless to say, I was rather disappointed. So much reading, so little hacking and slashing.

Fast forward a few years later, a friend pokes me on IRC and asks if I have NWN. And sure I do. He then introduces me to a Danish RP server(My native language) and shows me the ropes. All the Do's and Don'ts of Roleplay. I never looked back since. When WoW came out, the server I used to play on died out and it took several years before my eventual return. My English language had since then improved a whole lot, thanks to WoW, and I was happy to endulge in a new adventure on one of the packed RP servers that was, and still IS running with a healthy player pool. This game has the capacity to be one of the most amazing RP experiences any PC game has to offer, due to the amazing Aurora toolset that makes you able to create an entire world as you see fit. With carefully handcrafted NPC's, stats, loot, triggers, events and most importantly; the ability to log onto your server as a DM and create real-time events on the spot for people to enjoy.

Spawn a horde of zombies to invade a town where people are RP'ing, or a dragon, or whatever you can think of. Help a player out with his own event, by adding atmospheric lighting, smoke, monsters and sound effects. You can think of it? Then it can most likely be done.

The singler-player part of the game is nothing extraordinary. It's a solid oldschool RPG, with a pretty straight forward story. Nothing great, but it does the job. I'd suggest anyone to buy this game, if they are even the slightest bit interested in role playing though. And with this new enhanced edition and the support of the steam workshop, I am totally looking forward to seeing new, as well as old amazing mods for this brilliant game.
