NeverWinter Nights



Neverwinter Nights (NWN) is a new Dungeons
& Dragons (D&D) roleplaying game from BioWare,
the developers of Baldur's Gate. Neverwinter Nights
has not only been designed specifically for the online,
multiplayer environment and the latest in 3D
technology, but it also allows you to experience
all the magic of pen-and-paper Dungeon Mastering
on your home computer. Using NWN's powerful and
user-friendly Neverwinter Toolset, you can create
and populate entire, new, modular worlds and stories
for others to adventure in. Even better, enter a
multiplayer module as a Dungeon Master and you can
alter the plot, possess characters, and manage combat from
behind the scenes, all in real-time. The Neverwinter Nights
story takes place in the northern Sword Coast region
in TSR's Forgotten Realms. You begin as an in
experienced character in the city of Neverwinter
who must initially complete a training exercise put
forth before you by your guild. A deadly plague
is sweeping across Neverwinter, and the city
is under quarantine. As someone who hasn't
yet fallen victim to this mysterious plague,
you're enlisted to try to help discover
the nature of the malaise and better
yet, a cure for it. Your search for
the cure will take you all across
the northern Sword Coast, running from
Neverwinter in the south, to Luskan in the north.
The game consists of more than two dozen
different play scenarios, or modules, each
of which will take several hours to complete,
providing over 60 hours of gameplay.
However, the areas included with the
game are just the beginning. New or additional areas
that can be created using the toolkit
have no real bounds. Ready-made tilesets
will include everything necessary to
create two distinct cities, a great variety
of forest and grassland terrain,
numerous types of dungeons, two intricate
castle styles, rural hamlets, and
vast subterranean caverns. The game is currently forecast to be released Winter
of 2001. A public beta test may take place during the fall,
however nothing is currently scheduled.
