This game has potential to be something great but it lacks many of the features it would need to do so. Everything about the game from war, to battles, to character progression is an inch deep. You can quickly get a to a stage playing where you have the best ship, endless cash, and very little to do but grind in an open concept world. There is no diplomacy, no technology, and not the intricacies or ship development of a game like faster than light.... The pirate option is the least boring career path since you can actually start your own faction but even then there is considerable grind.
There are hundreds of reviews saying that this game is an Hero's of Might and Magic clone. No my friends Hero's of might and magic is a "clone" of this series. This is the original format from which Hero's of Might and Magic was born which is why it is so recognizable to people who enjoy the more famous reincarnation of this series. Personally I think the original King's bounty is better than this remake but it's none the less fun.
NWN is a decent game. But, for the price of $9.99 you can gain access to the online player generated content which is what makes this game so awesome. Most of the better servers are still going strong. For example, Higherground (action server) has tons of custom content and has gameplay that exceeds most pay for play worlds in quality and fun. This is the most fun you can have for about $10. A MUST get.
