Neverwinter Nights
As a player, you are able to choose what skills and abilities you will develop as you voyage though the complex and dangerous fantasy world of Forgotten Realms. Be a deadly and dangerous Rogue moving through the shadows using stealth and secrecy, be a scholarly Wizard and wield powerful magic against your enemies, be a hulking Barbarian whose lust for battle is matched only by his terrible rage, be an armor-clad Paladin who protects the innocent and vanquishes his foes, be a crusading Cleric who heals the sick and defends the helpless… be all this and more.
Neverwinter Nights allows you to create your own worlds. This revolutionary game will come with all the tools needed to construct your own unique lands of adventure. The Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset allows even novice users to construct everything from a quiet, misty forest or a dripping cavern of foul evil, to a king's court. All the monsters, items, set pieces and settings are there for world builders to use. But do not stop there; construct traps, encounters, custom monsters and magic items to make your adventure unique.
Neverwinter Nights is a new Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) role-playing game from BioWare, developers of the wacky 3D action title, MDK2 , and the wildly popular Baldur's Gate role-playing series. Throughout their history of hit titles, BioWare has become well-known for their eye for detail and their commitment to rich and evocative storytelling in their games. Neverwinter Nights raises the bar even higher, with the official campaign drawing its players into an epic and unforgettable tale of faith, war, and betrayal along the windswept Sea of Swords.
You won't see much in the way of aliens or laser guns, but you will encounter fearsome monsters, awe-inspiring magic, and noble-hearted knights-at-arms. As a whole, fantasy literature tends to be very epic in nature - the fate of entire kingdoms, even worlds, hangs in balance and the heroes must navigate the narrow and treacherous path between good and evil, between ultimate victory and ultimate destruction. The writings of J.R.R. Tolkien, especially The Hobbit , and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, are generally credited with launching the fantasy genre and still serve as a good introduction to the look and feel of Neverwinter Nights and many other fantasy role-playing games today.
