1000 hrs of fun with NeverwinterVault !
In one sentence? The Game. The game that became an epic "book" with new chapters and stories being written even as you read these words; the LONGEST experience in gaming world ever and one the best experiences overall. In fact Neverwinter Nights (NWN) is not merely a game; it is a gaming universe, a game that in the course of 15 years multiplied itself into dozens of great epic games and stories (called "modules") thanks to NWN Aurora toolset and Neverwinter Vault (neverwintervault.org) that features work of modders who create innumerable piles of content (games, music, landscape, tilesets, scripts etc.) to this day. Some of this content is better than content by professional studios… and some authors were hired after creating the stunning NWN modules that were made and are available for free! Example? Visit Neverwintervault.org and you’ll immediately see the list of best mods together with player’s opinions. Mind you, some authors spent as many as 5 or 8 years (!) creating these mods. To start with the epic best: Aielund Saga, Dance with Rogues, Prophet, Bastard of Kosigan, Accursed Tower, Swordflight, Hunt Through the Dark, Bloodright... all of them offering 30, 60, 90 or more hours of gameplay; and all of them better than the original campaign, taking you to the new level of psychological depth, interaction and roleplaying. I’ve carefully selected epic modules to play and I do not regret a single second, even though I sank probably around 1000 hrs in the course of last 3 or 4 years. You can check our my advice by googling "Best NWN Modules according to Greg" or visit other module lists like the one on Lilura's Blog. So… Spend a few buck and know thyself. 1000 hours. You have been warned! :)
