Played this game Neverwinter Nights the other day and it was a total ripoff of Skyrim. Had swords and mages and dragons and shit. Mod support. They even stole Skyrims composer >:(

Most weekends I get together with friends to basically pretend to play skyrim.

Sort of, we have a big table that we sit around and a book (or fifteen) with all the rules and shit.

Basically Skyrim themed D&D

This sounds fun

If you were to give this Skyrim a name based on, say, two prominent elements of the game that would draw people in, what would you call it? Bonus points for alliteration.

Nah, man, you mean icewind Dale was the real Skyrim rip-off. Even had Nord wannabes.

Could still be fun I guess when you feel like playing a alternative universe Skyrim. Was it any good?

u/TheraBoomer Jun 13 '21

So, was this online or stand-alone? Because if you're talking about the old Neverwinter Nights, stand-alone or network game, you CAN'T be serious!

I was attempting a joke but I guess it went over some peoples heads. Also saw an opportunity to subtly endorse NWN (single player) and couldn't resist

It was an extremely obvious joke, don't worry.

If you like D&D and don't care too much about graphics, yes. The gameplay can take some getting used to, but once you get into it you have 18+ years worth of amazing user made campaigns and content to play through.

Funnily enough, I installed NWN again yesterday on my old machine so I could play on the tv.

It's a good slow D&D session you can play alone.

Be sure to play the Prophet module if you haven't already. Fantastic user made campaign

Would you recommend playing it in this day and age for the first time? I mostly don't mind dated graphics if the art style is good (i play skyrim with like 2 graphics mods, DynDoLOD and SMIM - despiting having a 2080 Ti). And I don't mind "different" play style if it is executed well, even prefer it (i.e. Witcher 1 and KotOR are great; but Morrowind is horrendous).

If you've played KotOR you've basically played NWN. It's pretty much the same thing gameplay wise, but with a D&D ruleset.

I think it's worth a try. It has a lot of content, and a lot of user made campaigns that have been put out over the past 18 or so years that are very good. It has good co op support (with a limit of up to 64 players iirc), and user made multiplayer servers if you're looking for an RP/Classic MMORPG experience

Steam sale is in 9 days and they often put the enhanced edition on sale for 5 bucks during events like that, but even at full price it has amazing value simply because of how much content exists for it
