NEver Winter Wonder

[Fatty]

Well i got my grubby paws on Never WInter Nights. Brought to us by the same people who did Baldur's Gate I&II it is a visual treat. Using a truly 3d engine the game is impressive.

While not the hack and slash of say diablo, the game has great atmosphere and an intuitive control system. The real bonus is th eonline play, not only can you play with others and explore new worlds you can also design games very easily. Here is the best part as a host you can ruly take th epart of Dungeon Master, controlling the actions of NPC's in realtime, right down to talking to players via them.

More soon and a full review. Once we get a few people with the game we will be running games set in Middle-earth. Watch the gaming section over the next month or so for more.

Have any of you tried it yet?

A Strong looking man came from the shadows,,,everone was looking at his dark hair and green eyes,,,He took his sword,,,it was still reflecting the bright light of the moon,,,to the dark lands of shadow.......he said:
DAMN NEVERWINTER,LET'S CREATE MINAS TIRITH!!!
(That crazy man was Serathorn,still,everyone was shocked,looking at him)

Hello all, been playing NW for about a week or so, really enjoying it; agree about the atmosphere, though I still feel it lacks the originality og BG and the SOA series. Still, would like to have a go at creating a Middle-Earth Universe for the game:)

Hi Ancalagon, welcome to War of the Ring!

Yeah I know what you mean, I though BG2 was the best, chasing pesky Bohndi through the graveyard, very creepy. A great game, but this is a different kettle of fish. Many more arrows in its' quiver, we will do something with it in the future, I need to poll interest in the gaming section first.....as soon as I put it up :-) Should be this week.......

Enjoy the forums and the site :-)

Looking forward to it. When is the poll going up or have I missed it?

[Fatty]

Ah well, the new pc/console section in gaming should go up later today. some details of the various games, screenshots, video (already up), as well as release dates, and maybe a look back at some classics. I hope this will delvelop into hints, etc later. So the poll will appear there. All the sites polls will change today and be archived.
