Neverwinter Nights Reconnaissance

Gameloft provides us with a new glimpse of Neverwinter Nights, BioWare’s multiplayer/single player RPG that will likely be a candidate for RPG of the year, and probably game of the year as well. If you feel a bit of deja vu while reading, it’s because two paragraphs are exactly the same. I guess they wanted to make sure we got the point <g>. There’s also a few magnificent screenshots which accompany the single-page preview. An extraction verbatum:

As with all multiplayer titles, NWN will largely be community driven. BioWare and Black Isle are making big steps to ensure that the community will not be adversely affected by cheats – moving towards a ‘character vault’ system, which will store character files on the persistent worlds’ servers – and acting as an impediment to cheaters.
