It's not like it's that hard to get NWN working on modern systems, either. They're really just trying to milk cash from people who don't know any better.

It didn't have a steam release prior to their opportunistic shit.

>>14088215

Oh, right, because Steam is really essential. How would people play modules for it if they couldn't use the Steam Workshop® for it?

>Oh, right, because Steam is really essential

It is when dealing with retards.

From the modules I've played, I've liked:

Aielund Saga

Swordflight (Part 4 still in development.)

The Prophet

Elegia Eternum/Excrucio Eternum

The Hex Coda Part 1/Melee Maidens (Probably one of my favorites, was never finished, but the guy dropped all the story details, part 1 is at least worth playing though, and Melee Maidens was an interesting little gimmick.)

Runes of Blood

Darkness Over Daggerford

Vampire Heaven Defied (Neat one if you enjoyed VTM:Bloodlines)

[Dumb Porn modules that are funny]

Gladiatrix (Really fucking dumb, tries introducing a neat plot twist, dumps it in favor of a really dumb plot twist.)

Demon Heart (Actually has a pretty interesting start to the plot, but at the end of the day is a porn module where you fight off a gnoll gangbang orgy who are raping a woman to death)

Both of these mods you can tell where the authors were furiously rubbing their clits, I dunno what's up with women and wanting to get raped by evil sociopaths.

>he didn't play a dance with rogues

You do need a basic understanding of how your graphics card works for half the bugs you'll be facing with Neverwinter Nights, I'm actually baffled as to how they ever got that piece of shit running when it first released. Makes me wonder if a conversion of the modules worth a damn to Neverwinter Nights 2 is worth a try instead because my tolerance of the engine breaking down right before my eyes was wearing thin the last time I played it.

>A dance with rogue

>Actually playing a sex mod for NWN

What the fuck.

Anyone still playing multiplayer?

>>14089517

there was a /v/ server up when GOG gave out NVN diamond for free. everyone max leveled in a day or two, played another couple days and quit.

>This pathetic faggot is actually mad because I insulted his trashy whore roleplaying module

Uh huh, I bet it has really good 'gameplay' and isn't just a buncha fapfics written by an inbred 15 year old queer.

>>14089517

yeah, there are

due to the nature of NWN1 though, it gets boring pretty soon after you hit max lvl with the guys you wanna make unless you're into PvP, even if theres stuff comparable to WoW dungeons and raids in the game

>>14088206

regardless, it'll get more people playing multiplayer unless something happens

>>14088824

I never had any issues with NWN and have checked up on the online community once a year since it was still new. I did have a friend though who's graphics glitched out so his character looked like it was made out of metal.

>>14088750

These are all really good.

glad to see someone else mentioning Twoflower's stuff (Eternum, Hex Coda). He's a great guy, could have worked at Bioware back when they were still good if he'd wanted to move to the frozen north. Most of his stuff is story-heavy, which are the kind of modules that work best in NWN.

If you like his stuff and enjoy Discworld, his other series of modules (look for the Remastered ones) are good. Name unfortunately escapes me.

Daggerford is pretty amazing, that group did better work than any of the BW modules except maybe for Wyvern Crown.

The most popular way to play online (in raw # of users) was that PW/MUD style, which, yeah, you max level and get bored.

For a few years when it came out, though, most of the games run off Neverwinter Connections were DMed modules run basically like pen & paper games but in the engine. That was where I knew some of the old community module makers from, as well as some great DMs. I wish that style would make a comeback, so I keep an eye out.

It was a huge amount of work to DM a campaign that way (building areas in time for the party to go explore them) but when I was in grad school I had the time to do it.

The mod is actually quite good, and if sex scares you, you can just ignore that.

I'm pretty sure it's written by a woman anyway.

>>14100854

You'd be surprised how many modules are done by women, if the bar of entry for Modding is low enough and the story emphasis appeals to them. This pattern repeated itself with Dungeon Siege.

My only hope for the NWN edition is that you're able to browse multiplayer games without an external tool, which would mean more people would play them. I miss massively populated persistent worlds.
