Likewise, the name Neverwinter Nights means very different things to millenials than it does to people who had AOL back in '91.ДЇrom the basic D&D rules through five or more major overhauls, each edition of the game has made its mark with computer or console titles, and they all had varying levels of success.

That's because I'm referring to the '88 PC title, not the 3D game of the same name that tried out the 3 rd edition rules back in 2001. When looking back through the many D&D games to hit PCs or consoles, there's an interesting tradition of publishing vastly different games with the same name, which is perhaps sustained by how the same material has to be re-tread repeatedly as new editions of the tabletop game are released over time.ДЇor instance, if you were only born in the last 20 years or so, you probably did a double take when I mentioned Pool Of Radiance as the first real D&D game. Although there were some Intellivision games in the 70's, I'm essentially starting this list with Pool Of Radiance, which is the first title people are likely to have actually played and still have access to today. To keep this manageable and less than 100 pages long, I'm going to skip the iOS/handheld games, as well as anything that's a MMORPG.

The whole game and its expansions and adventure pack are now available at what has unquestionably been an even bigger undertaking than ranking the Final Fantasy games, its time to look back now at an astonishing 40 years(!) of history where Dungeons & Dragons was translated into the electronic medium. Since then, while there have been no plans in sight for a Neverwinter Nights 3, the MMO Neverwinter is a sorta-sequel set 100 years after the events of the Neverwinter Nights games. It was developed by Ossian Studios with the plot having no ties with the previous storylines. Some reviewers, however, have compared it to being more like a high-end third-party mod, mainly criticizing the lack of character interaction and the amount of random encounters on the overland map.ДЄn Adventurer Pack called Mysteries of Westgate was released in 2009.

Indeed, many reviewers have wondered how the same company could have written the (at the very least clichГ©d) plot of the original campaign and the dark, atmospheric and original one for MotB.ДЄ second expansion pack, Storm of Zehir, was released in 2008, it 'hearkens back to the days of the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale franchises by including full party customization, dungeon crawling, and free exploration of a non-linear game world via an overland Map'. It is shorter, less linear, and has been praised for the choices offered to the player in the style of Planescape: Torment. However, the original campaign in NWN2 also has a surprising amount of tongue-in-cheek humor from most characters, resulting in a campaign with an unusual amount of deadpan humor from party members and NPCs alike, including poking fun at the game's own clichГ©s and plot, as exemplified by the example at the top of the page.ДЄn expansion pack: Mask of the Betrayer follows the same character into an unfamiliar land (Rashemen) and a more personal struggle. Later patches and expansion packs have removed many of the bugs and improved the engine, but it's still rather a hardware hog. Added to these problems is an engine with serious graphical issues and massive slowdown even on relatively modern computers. The original game was plagued by the same problems as Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords: clearly rushed development and very buggy programming. Unusually for Western RPGs (particularly the earlier efforts of the same developers), NWN2 has very few optional questlines and side-areas, and players who attempt to stray from the pre-determined path will often find their way blocked by doors with Plot locks and other uncircumventable obstacles. The player also becomes the owner of a castle, and may choose to participate in its restoration in preparation for later events.

One significant story arc sees the player character accused of murder, requiring the player to do all the necessary groundwork for a trial and then participating in it. Aside from traditional RPG Elements like fighting and completing quests, there are some deviations of note.
