Ballistics Report

Pros

Campaign.
The singleplayer campaign is superior in every conceivable fashion to the original. In fact, despite the few remaining faults of the NWN engine, it manages to pull off one of the best epic experiences. It’s no Planescape: Torment, but then again, few games are.

Gameplay features.
We absolutely love the epic-level skills, the new prestige classes and the powerful new critters you go up against.

Content
In addition to the official campaign, there are a few other modules packed in on the CD.

Community support
The community has really grown around the game and all the new goodies will surely make their way into modules; modules which will lead players up to level 40!

Cons

Performance
We’re at a loss to explain why Neverwinter Nights would continue to chug a computer so powerful, it wasn’t even available at NWN’s launch.

Graphics
The character graphics are really rather disappointing.

 Random Fact
I’m really surprised to see the Canadian Unitarian Council oppose Bill C-38 (the decriminalization of marijuana), not because they want it to be criminal, but because they find the fines to be too high.
