Taking pen-and-paper RPGs as a model, Bioware has created an impressive Dungeon Master mode, which allows one player to take control of the game, shaping and directing the experience for the other players.
As any self-respecting goblin-fancier will tell you the Baldur’s Gate series is still widely held as the yardstick for fantasy RPGs, and Neverwinter Nights promises to deliver an experience that’s just as epic and absorbing as its forebeards, er, bears.īut the most exciting thing about NWN, and the thing that could cause major ripples even in the wider gaming world, is the inclusion of innovative new multiplayer features that give players the power to create their own gaming experiences. For rpg traditionalists, especially those with a shady history in the glamorous realm of pen-and-paper RJPGing, Bioware is the incumbent lord of anything even remotely resembling a virtual dungeon.
