Any Way to Play Besides PC?
« on: March 23, 2012, 11:42:36 pm »


                   So I've been interested in Baldur's Gate and NWN ever since finishing my first DA:O playthrough on the 360, but I don't want to buy it for my PC because I'm not much of a PC gamer. Everytime I try to play an old "classic" on the PC, like Dues Ex or Star Craft, I just sort of crap out half way through because I'm not on my PC much. I'm very much so a protable/console gamer. 

   So is there any way to play Neverwinter on something other than the PC? A LEGAL way that is...:innocent:

               Unfortunately not, Tunasandwhich395.  Neverwinter Nights is a computer game (primarily Windows based, but there are linux and Mac versions floating around), and I don't think it would handle console gaming very well (even if it could run on one).

Plus, to get the most out of the game, you're going to want to be able to download and install things like custom content and any of the hundreds (or is it thousands?) of single-player modules, and log onto various multiplayer persistent worlds.

Besides, $9.99 (the price to download the complete game + expansions from gog.com) is the best value you can get for a computer game, even if you do only get half way through the original game.  But the original adventure (the OC) and expansions don't even come close to what's available (for free), so it's worth it to just explore.

Come to the PC side for a while. Give your thumbs a break... 'B)'

               You should try out Origins for the PC. It's a lot more fun and there is a lot more content with mods. If you happen to get hooked on that it would make other PC games (NWN) easier to get comfortable with.
