Can I play neverwinter straight from external hard drive

midian36

I am getting real low on space so I was wondering if I could install arc and/or neverwinter on external and still access the game with same characters.

You can yes.

I'm currently playing off of a USB drive stuck acting as a USB2(because my dock only has USB2 ports) drive. The big performance hit is loading times being slow. Performance was decent when I was playing undocked and could use my laptop's USB3 ports.

I tried installing onto external and it keeps opening my account. Instead of uninstalling then reinstalling could I just transfer files?

Depends on the drive and the bus speed. If you have USB-C or lighting and you are using an SSD then it should be just as fast.

I think you meant USB 3 or 3.1...USB C is simply a connector type which can support USB 3/3.1 speeds.

I just uninstalled then installed on external. I started off where I last left off.
