1.01: What is Neverwinter Nights? (Back to Top)

Neverwinter Nights is a new Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) role-playing game from BioWare, developers of the wacky 3D action title, MDK2, and the wildly popular Baldur's Gate role-playing series. Throughout their history of hit titles, BioWare has become well-known for their eye for detail and their commitment to rich and evocative storytelling in their games. Neverwinter Nights raises the bar even higher, with the official campaign drawing its players into an epic and unforgettable tale of faith, war, and betrayal along the windswept Sea of Swords.

1.02: What genre is Neverwinter Nights? (Back to Top)

Neverwinter Nights and Dungeons & Dragons are considered fantasy role-playing games. You won't see much in the way of aliens or laser guns, but you will encounter fearsome monsters, awe-inspiring magic, and noble-hearted knights-at-arms. As a whole, fantasy literature tends to be very epic in nature - the fate of entire kingdoms, even worlds, hangs in balance and the heroes must navigate the narrow and treacherous path between good and evil, between ultimate victory and ultimate destruction. The writings of J.R.R. Tolkien, especially The Hobbit, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, are generally credited with launching the fantasy genre and still serve as a good introduction to the look and feel of Neverwinter Nights and many other fantasy role-playing games today.
