epic tale of faith, war, and betrayal.
As a player you are able to
choose what skills and abilities you will develop as 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
sage-like Wizard who wields powerful magic against his enemies, be a hulking
Barbarian whose lust for battle is matched only by his terrible rage, be a
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 has unlimited potential. This revolutionary game
will come with all the tools needed to construct your own unique worlds of
adventure. The 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.
But the Neverwinter
experience is not just for one person- adventure with all your friends. Neverwinter
Nights can be played online with up to 64 friends all sharing in the
adventure. You can take the role of the Dungeon Master®- the game organizer-
and control all the monsters and other characters your friends meet as they
journey on their quest. A powerful piece of software included with Neverwinter
Nights, the DM Client, allows nearly unlimited control for running your own
adventures for your friends.
Finally, visit the Neverwinter
Nights Community Website and find information, new adventures, new friends,
and get answers to your questions all in one spot.
Neverwinter Nights…endless adventures.
The five fundamental components of Neverwinter
Nights are:
·
The Official Campaign: Players create a character in
accordance with Wizard of the Coast’s 3rd Edition Dungeons &
Dragons® rules, then adventure through an epic story, battling fearsome
creatures, improving their character, and immersing themselves in the popular
fantasy milieu of the Forgotten Realms. Players can expect over 60 hours
of story-based gameplay from the official campaign. Neverwinter Nights
is fully playable in both single player and multiplayer: Play through the game
by yourself or, if you have an Internet or LAN connection, share the adventure
with friends from around the world using our dedicated in-game matching
service. Players can move their characters seamlessly between the two modes
with no need to convert files back and forth or maintain separate versions of
their characters.
·
Other Modules: Neverwinter Nights will also have an
assortment of modules, both at ship and at post-release, in the game and on the
community site. These other modules will offer a high replay value outside that
provided by the official campaign, and may also be built by BioWare, and other
partners subsequent to the initial release of Neverwinter Nights.
·
The Dungeon Master (DM) Client: Pen and paper role-playing
games draw their appeal from having someone who controls the flow of the story,
making sure that the players are having a fun time. In D&D, this
person is called the Dungeon Master (DM). With its fully integrated DM Client
software, Neverwinter Nights revolutionizes the computer role-playing
genre by putting that power back in the hands of our users, where it belongs.
As the game progresses, Dungeon Masters will have the power to control the
difficulty of the game in real time; place and remove creatures, items, and
other objects within the gameworld; possess non-player characters and monsters
to speak through them and control their actions; and use various other tools to
enhance the mood and heighten the gameplay experience of their players. Neverwinter
Nights does not require a Dungeon Master to play the game, however in
multiplayer mode a Dungeon Master will certainly enhance the enjoyment of the
game of all playing.
·
The Neverwinter Aurora Toolset: The true power of any
role-playing system lies in its ability to unleash the imagination. The Neverwinter
Aurora Toolset does just that. It is a powerful but user-friendly RPG creation
toolset – the same one BioWare is using to create their Official Campaign. A
series of "wizards" and automated assistants will speed up the
workflow of advanced users while at the same time providing novice users with
the necessary help and guidance to bring their dreams to life. The average user
will be able to construct an enjoyable dungeon crawl in under an hour. Advanced
users will be able to add narrative depth using our extremely flexible
conversation editor and NWScript, our powerful C-styled scripting language.
·
The Portal System: Massively multiplayer games are becoming
increasingly popular and prevalent within the industry. While the Official Neverwinter
Nights Campaign will not include a massively multiplayer component, the
toolset will give players the power to create their very own persistent worlds.
This is made possible by our innovative Portal System. Through the placement of
Portals within your gameworld, you will be able to connect your Neverwinter module
to modules running on the machines of friends, guildmates, and fellow players.
This modular structure allows for a persistent gameworld of theoretically
infinite dimensions and with an equally infinite player capacity.
Players begin the official
campaign in the northern city of
At the behest of Lord Nasher
and the young Tyrist paladin, Aribeth de Tylmarande, the adventurers of the
city set out to recapture the dangerous creatures of Waterdeep, cure the
Wailing Death, and unravel the conspiracy of Neverwinter’s mysterious
betrayers.
·
Brand equity: Developed by BioWare– BioWare is recognized as
a producer of high quality computer role-playing titles. Dungeons &
Dragons created the role-playing genre back in 1973 and continues to hold
the greatest share and name recognition within the pen-and-paper role-playing
market to date. BioWare is acknowledged as an industry leader in working within
the Dungeons & Dragons universe based on its work on the Baldur’s
Gate series.
