... but I thought I'd share my views on the game so far. Now that the 'new car smell' has worn off I can write a mini review with a clear head.
There's much to like about Neverwinter. Without writing a long paragraph, here's a simple 10 reasons why I'm thoroughly enjoying the game. Each to their own and I appreciate my views will not be universal.
1) The Combat. It's fast, action packed, skilled and doesn't rely on a 1000 buttons.
2) Kill Speed. Each fight is quick. Kill a group of NPC's and move on. It flows effortlessly.
3) The Music. It's a proper EPIC soundtrack that suits the game perfectly.
4) The Locations. Yes it's classic D&D stuff, but it's done really well with each area different from the last.
5) The UI. Really simple to understand and the Foundry/Portal/Quest hub is a joy to use. You'll never be bored.
6) The Dungeons. They're well designed and fun to complete. This applies to the mini instances too.
7) The Quests. We've all see them done before but I've yet to feel that nagging 'grind' I get with other MMO's.
8) The Professions. They have an odour of EVE Online about them but they've tried something new.
9) The Quest Tracker. Love it or hate it, the bread crumb glow means you're never lost. I use it all the time.
10) The Future. Neverwinter has lots to be happy about. The game has so much scope for expansion and judging by the amount of people playing (head starters) the World feels alive! Neverwinter (for me) doesn't have the polish say Guild Wars 2 has, but I'm enjoying Neverwinter much, much more.
I'm sorry in advance to those who will disagree with any of the above. It's not my intention to annoy anyone
I hope tomorrow is as fun filled for the FTP people as it's been for me. Good luck everyone.

I'm level 33. I'm in game now. It's excellent.
I popped in the original NWN and IWD soundtracks while playing last night and was simply blown away. Don't get me wrong I very much like what Keven Manthei did with Gangs of New York and Vampire The Masquerade, but I find this score lacking and not really D&D.
