I sank 80 hours into this game. The game concept is okayish. The execution is bad. Overall the game is average. The UI cripples the game big time - clipping camera, unintuitive controls and hard-to-click objects. Inventory management is bad. Sometimes the camera advances in steps, giving choppy, nauseating experience. The gameplay is okay, with a four main issues: 1. Time: unskippable quick time events, lengthy travels within a location and padded story. 2. Crafting did not work for me at all. Building a character is either hit'n'miss or requires deep knowledge that is not offered by the game. Selection of spells/feats is a hit'n'miss as well. 3. Simplistic world, where your actions and decisions matter very little. The story is forgettable, NPCs are bland and hard to attach to. The game forces player to select some of the companions for some missions, but that is more annoying than helpful. 4. Bugs! This game is so unpolished, that certain event's do not happen, inventory items get lost, NPCs go idle whenever something gets in their way, enemies teleport thru your tanks, game crashes or hangs. The good: Combat is fine (RTwP). Enemy AI is passable, for the most part going for the party members you least want attacked. The ugly: Unbalanced enemies (Moire that kills entire party on her own, vs. Nightwalker that dies off almost on its own). Choppy camera. Useless lore: a lot of text to get thru for nothing. The Keep is a wasted opportunity. No matter how good or bad the Keep is, it matters very little in the end.

Neverwinter Nights series made me a game dev!

I think it's my favorit video game (same level as Baldur's Gate 1 & 2). A really good story with really interesting NPCs. A main character wich evolve in the word (from "farmer" to "lord" with a castle to manage). I think it's THE game I was the most extecting on GoG ! So sad the GoG version is english only. The french version is missing form me :( .

I don't understand or remember how I had managed to play this game when it came out. The Companion system is terrible and idiotic, worst than NWN 1. The amount of micromanagement and frustration of the controls is tedious and agonizing. Somehow I played this game and finished it years ago, but just doing the village section was frustrating the other night was terrible. Constantly having to change the damn camera mode since you can't manage your entire party (moving them) when their puppet mode is on considering how useless the A.I. is. The select all mode doesn't let you rotate the camera, but you can have them all selected. The camera that can rotate doesn't allow you to select your entire group, just really stupid design decisions for a 3d game. The camera system breaks this game, makes it so frustrating that, I just uninstalled it and said fuck it. NWN 1's camera mode etc was better than this didn't have to constantly shift mode to be able to do everything. Party system with the camera makes this game more tedious than it needs to be.
