Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is a hardcore, permadeath, roleplay heavy server, and I find it strikes a perfect balance of well tuned gameplay, a huge open world, roleplay with a welcoming community, incredibly impressive custom content, DM interaction through events and story hooks, and a robust in-depth crafting system to make my ultimate DnD experience.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game of my childhood, years of roleplaying in the long lost Ravenloft servers, first friendly interactions online, Community Expansion Pack to get faces and model, Aurora Toolkit to shape your campaign and a lot more - this is what NWN is for me, an incredible story (i can talk about Lady Aribeth's downfall or the wise buffoon. . .) and a simple gameplay, you don't need to be a D&D expert.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I haven't even scratched the surface of how it's like as a multiplayer (MMO or co-op) experience, but just from playing the 3 official campaigns and one 1 module, I can say it's a wholly unique time.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's an old game, and you can absolutely feel that in the interface, visuals, and combat.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The main campaign single player is good but not great IMO, Where it shines are in custom modules and content people have generated over the years and in coop play with friends with real game masters on the server.
Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
First off don't be deceived as I have over 6000 hours in this game and I will hail it as one of the most original and best MMORPGs ever made, it still holds up to this day in my opinion and with the dedicated servers still run by the communities there's never a shortage of content to play.
