SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Benoist;409086Neverwinter Nights was released in 2002.

Bioware's Neverwinter Nights took the name as an homage to the original AOL MMO/MUD of the same name.  ;)
"In a way, the Lands of Dream are far more brutal than the worlds of most mainstream games. All of the games set there have a bittersweetness that I find much harder to take than the ridiculous adolescent posturing of so-called \'grittily realistic\' games. So maybe one reason I like them as a setting is because they are far more like the real world: colourful, crazy, full of strange creatures and people, eternal and yet changing, deeply beautiful and sometimes profoundly bitter."

I thought that's the PC game we were talking about. See references to Baldur's Gate also in my previous post. :)

I see.  Woops.  I still need to finish Baldur's Gate...I think I'm on disk 2 or something...

But yeah, Bioware's NWN was really popular (though perhaps not as much as BG), and I think I played it about the same time I started to become interested in TTRPGs.  I loved the CRPG, but when I played 3rd ed I was blown away by how much better tabletop filled the niche I was looking for.

To think that was 8/9 years ago that I started with all of this...gah.
