Neverwinter Nights: Diamond

Neverwinter Nights: Diamond
NWN Diamond contains the original Neverwinter Nights, as well as all three expansion packs: Shadows of Undrentide, Hordes of the Underdark, and Kingmaker.


The game’s graphics were wonderfully textured and truly demonstrated why, when it came to the imaginative lands guarded by Wizards of the Coast, BioWare was and is the top developer.

The game takes its cue from the Shadows of Undrentide title (the shortest of the two expansions, but one that added new prestige classes) in scanning the host system to configure the game for optimum performance. Of course, you don’t have to follow those recommendations and can bump up any aspect you wish. For instance, the game’s default resolution is 800x600, but while the game warns the framerate may take a hit for bumping it up, going higher reveals such wonderful texturing that the game remains a tasty bit of eye candy.

Neverwinter Nights begins with the tale of a hero called forth to help unravel the source (and find a cure for) of a plague that is settling over the lands. The plot twists and turns as you gather adventurers to form a group and begin the adventure that will offer side quests and customization features depending on how you work your main character. Shadows is the story of a school of adventurers, suddenly attacked. It is revealed that the school’s master is of a group known as Harpers and was entrusted with hiding/safeguarding four relics of immense power – relics stolen by the attacking kobolds.

Once you have created characters in the original title and/or in Shadows, you can import them into the adventure that comprises Hordes. Below the town of Waterdeep is the Underdark, and therein is an army gathering to lay siege to the town above. Your job is to save the town. Gee, aren’t you glad that it was not something hard?

These games, and the modules, very much are point-and-click adventures that not only require some quick decision-making, but appeals to the cerebral side as well. The Aurora Toolset is a dandy bit of creative design that allows gamers to create their own adventures. Examples of what is possible is actually included with the game with the three modules accompanying the release. BioWare has been known to sell these on their Web site, but fans looking for something more have the opportunity to test these creative and imaginative mods.

Of course, you can create your own avatar to enter these mods, but they also come with a variety of pre-built characters that you can draw into the group and adventure with. While entertaining, though, the mods are not the draw.

Neverwinter Nights Diamond is not for those who have the original and both expansions. But for those who have never played the game, who do have an interest in a very well-made RPG, this is the set to own. Or, if you own the first title, but not the expansions, and enjoyed the original NWN, then pick this up. There is easily more than 100 hours of gameplay here in the solo mode and you can always go online for a fix there as well (yep, co-op mode is available).

The games may be a touch dated, but these are the games that live fondly on as not only great adventures, but defining moments in the RPG realm.
