Neverwinter Nights

I've been playing Neverwinter Nights, the Original Campaign, for the last few days. I've never got so addicted to a game (well, maybe when I played Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic).
I've had this game for a few years already, however I never got really into it because I'd usually end up changing my mind about what weapons to use - and since character building is really important in this game, I'd usually end up with a crappy, weak character because I'd end up changing weapons (they all look so cool, it's hard to decide) and I'd ruin the whole "specialization" thingie.

But this time I decided to be a Ranger (the cool guys that shoot arrows). So, I was already quite ahead in the game when... I found a cooler looking weapon: the Great Axe. So, since I didn't want to start it all again, I decided to keep going and specialize in the use of the Great Axe instead. The result was a mixture of Ranger (6 levels) and Fighter (with 12 levels). I can't say my character was strong, but I was able to finish the campaign (in the easy setting).

This is how my character looked like almost at the end:

I got the red armor thingie after killing a huge red dragon (don't worry, it was evil).
And as you can see: my cool Great Axe (it left a trail of that green, radioactive goop all over the place, but I was an Adventurous Elf Ranger/Fighter and not a maid, hehe).

Neverwinter Nights really is a kick ass game. Especially if you're into RPG's (and this is one of the fews that use the D&D rules).
I don't know if my computer can run Neverwinter Nights 2, but I'm definitely going to try (my computer meets the minimum requirements).
If you're curious about it, check it's trailer at: Neverwinter Nights 2 Website (I thought it was really, really cool).

yeah... i have heard too about NWN2, i hope it's good as expeted.
i have played NWN but, just like you, i didn't know how to do a good character. NWN has a lot of classes and things like that, it's to hard to learn how to play!
i can try again, but i need some pro advices!!=p hehehe
maybe some day we can play it on the internet.

That would be sooo cool, man!
But if we're going to play on the internet, it'll have to be NWN, because I don't think my pc can handle nwn2 in the internet :P
I've been playing NWN2 for a few days now and the game is just awesome! Unfortunately, I have to play with all the graphics in the minimum, or else I get really lagged :P

Thanks for the comment, mate ;-)
Be sure to let me know when you finally make your blog >:D
