What do you think you are getting for $60? You get nothing. You get some screen sprites that belong to Cryptic. Designed by a developer and an artist who is probably out of work by now. You used to get at least a shiny coaster and a book when you got a crappy game. Last game I bought sight unseen was Aion... big mistake…
OK... Let's just say that I am the classic power gamer. I will log in and crush mobs for hours upon hours and rarely if ever say anything to anyone. That said, if I do say something to someone it will be in character. Thus I am both a power gamer and a role player. I have spent hours online in NWN doing nothing but RP. One…
I logged in about 10 times with no result. Gave up... Kept the browser open but closed the tab. Surfed around the net for a while. Came back to check something out and I was logged in.

I'd expect that worked on fairly early as well as an NWNX type interface. Plus... trade skills are going to be needed. PCs…
D&D is RP regardless of what system you put it into. If you die you should lose, at the very minimum, all your wealth and at least 1/3 of a level. I am saying 1/3 of a level as that is about the max exp a "power gamer" can get in about 4 hours of play in most NWN PW modules. The penalty should be stiffer but that is about…
Correctness wasn't specified in the terms of the contest yet in the spirit of correctness and true D&D geekery I did some research. The setting seems to be within a modified AD&D Core 4th Edition rule set. The world setting is Abeir-Toril (Toril "half"), on the supercontinent of Faerun. Set within The Forgotten Realms core…
