Why a monk? Because they're just glorified pub-brawlers, aren't they.
The twist is that he's a dwarf who's obsessed with becoming a monk. It's familiar from every classical RPG you've ever played. The tone's set from the first character you meet - a brawling dwarf who enjoys starting fights. Something prismatic, I dare say.ĭespite the fact it's dealing with a far more mainstream/clichéd fantasy world, Obsidian has managed to craft a memorable supporting cast of NPCs. Rather than a constrained small environment, it includes a Baldur's-Gate-esque world-map that allows you to travel from locale to locale. Rather than the loneliness of your slightly idiotic henchmen, you're gifted a small party of idiosyncratic partners you get to control directly, equip and generally get familiar with. You know - the Fallout/Baldur's Gate/Planescape Torment/Knight of the Old Republic strain. However, with this new spirit of rigour, it's lucky that Obsidian - whom pals Bioware chose to develop Neverwinter Nights 2 while they go off and do The Things Of The Future - have just made a great fantasy role-playing game.įar more than Neverwinter Nights, this is something that slides easily into this particular lineage of the RPG canon. but only for what it allowed you to play rather than anything in the box. Yes, eventually it was worth buying Neverwinter Nights. Most people with the original didn't do this, as otherwise its fairly rubbishy campaign would have lowered its marks hugely. As great as the tools may be, you don't mark for something that doesn't exist. Do you review it just as any old videogame - that is, the adventure in the box - or do you measure the power of the creation tool included into the box, and think about all the mods that'll result from it? Much like reviewing its prequel, Neverwinter Nights 2 offers you a challenge.
