Never Winter Nights ? Any good ?

Thinking about picking this up for my Debian....

I bought it a while back. I liked it, but my friends and I never really got into it. Several were too enthralled by Dark Age of Camelot.

It's a pretty cool game if you have a LOT of free time. It takes quite a while to get into and build up your character.

Good game, worth it even for the single player . I never got into Multiplayer and all the DM toolset shizzle, but if that floats your boat it's probably one of the best games out there.

Pretty solid game, you'll really like it if your into that genre of game!

It's pretty cool, but replay value relies on the different types of character classes (i.e. gameplaycan get stale, the only thing to keep you going are the new attributes of different characters).

once i figured out how to gain XP with the mummies I pretty much kicked all A$$ in the early levels and so got bored of it. 🙁

Depends... for single player... it's good, but BG and BG2 (and Planescape) are much better. For multiplayer and online play, it's the best out there (in this genre that is)

It's a great game, hours and hours of gameplay. However I didn't get in to it until I started playing multiplayer with a friend, that absolutely rocked. Can't wait for the expansion to come out and start all over again!

My friends and I all bought it and played it once then went back to Asheron's Call.

W is a great game. I played it for a bit and even started a builder's website. It just wasn't fast paced enough for me. I felt very detached from my character and being able to do certain things broke the whole experience for me. I moved on within a month. Though the game is amazing. 😀 A pioneer of it's time.

Dunno about the multiplayer, but the single player game is pretty annoying. Lots of good points, but the AI for your henchmen is pathetic. You can only give them the most basic of orders and even then they won't follow them to any substantial degree. If you tell them to be agressive they'll run solo into a crowd of 100 enemies and get wiped out in seconds. If you tell them to be passive they barely defend themselves and make no effort to run when in danger. No matter what you do you'll spend at least half the game teleporting back to your home base to get them resurrected.

Yeah, that was a bit annoying - but then I'm the type that build up a Paladin tank of a character so most of the fighting was done without my henchman. I imagine this would be a hell of a lot ore annoying for spellcasters.

The game is a bit too biased for tank-like characters anyway. A solid 200+ hp fighter charging in with dragon armor, all kinds of +5 protection, and swords that do 20-40 damage per/hit, immunity to most attacks, and 40 AC, the game get too easy. I tried running around in my underwear with just my sword and still could kill most things towards the end of the game.

But being a spell caster, especially in the begining with no henchman is incredibly hard. Plus they had difficulty mods you can download.

I bought this game a few weeks ago, on clearance, but haven't have time to play it yet.

So thanks for the heads up.
