I tried it for a while and if you like almost like 4X gameplay it's really fun. You're mostly playing far above and making trade routes and it quickly becomes really abstract. Then a fight breaks out and you're positioning boats in turn based combat which was a lot more interesting then I thought it would be. I don't get all the complaints. It's a fun little game.
I did try playing this when I was a kid but I was not clever enough to figure it out. I kept dying to things. Now that I am older, I bought it, and sank 77 hours into the main story. What a fantastic game. Lots of roleplaying, lots of action, lots of character building. It has it all. It might look old but that you can survive a bit of polygons. Look past it and have fun. Make your party and adventure into the MASSIVE world of Neverwinter Nights. It's amazing.
I downloaded it and thought it would be a fun time in London but it was the opposite. First I had to do a lot of fixing to get it running, then I had to fix the ultra wide because I got motion sick, then I was able to play. Gun sights are completely broken. The bullets come out from beneath, meaning if you're taking cover the bullets hit the railing or sandbags. Meaning you have to shoot high above, almost like you're aiming an artillery piece. It's unplayable with weapons that have iron sights or similar. Melee is just meh. Constant animations where they have to show off the blade. Incredibly frustrating seeing an 4-5 second un-skippable animation as I get hacked on by enemies. Why? It's also one of the better starting weapons you get because it is fast and does decent damage. Bleh. I didn't get that far, about an hour or so into the game and I stumbled upon a dude who wanted me to drag a bag up a tower or whatever and threatened me. So, I stabbed the dude from behind with a crouch stealth attack. Got a new armor that barely stopped any damage anyway. Everything feels very disjointed when you're starting out. Why instantly run away and leave the player having to trek through instant kill zones, ambushes and more? It'd be fun to follow the starting gang as they helped me with both water and weapons. That'd be fun but instead they just teleport away, leaving you alone. Lots of crashes, lots of bugs. Really, really unstable and not fun at all right now.
