Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition Incoming July 15

[Zed Clampet]

I played the originals when they first launched and hardly remember anything, so I'm looking forward to this. Anyone else planning to play?

After 19 years, one of my favorite D&D RPGs is finally breaking free of its awful performance and UI⁠ with a remaster—and it's a must-play for fans of Baldur's Gate

I've been waiting for Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition for a long, long time.

The first one was "enhanced" so long ago that it probably could stand to be re-enhanced, but that's not likely to happen:

I would love to get around to it. Never played Mask Of the Betrayer and many people have said its one of the best RPG stories out there for years.

I played a little bit of Neverwinter Nights, but I wasn't very impressed. I remember it being quite janky and you could long rest basically whenever you wanted.

...you could long rest basically whenever you wanted.

Isn't BG3 mostly like that? I can only remember a couple of times I've tried to long rest and couldn't.

In BG3 it costs camp supplies. They're fairly plentiful, but I don't think you can just long rest before every fight without running out.

 

[Zloth]

Yeah, but you can short rest before every fight and long rest when those run out. So, every 3 fights. That's IF you are picking up every random bit of food you find. (Sure, that fish has been sitting on the beach for a few days, so what? Dip it in some alcohol , cook it over a fire, and it'll be fine. Make sure Shadowheart has cure disease memorized, just in case.)

NWN2 was great. Unlike most folks, I really liked the main campaign. Mask of the Betrayer was fun, too, though the spells got a little overwhelming.

I would make sure that enhanced edition really is improving everything. There are BOUND to be people going on about how it isn't the "true" NWN2, but it shouldn't be all that many people.
