Neverwinter Nights: Worst RPG ever?

Also, I enjoyed being a summoner type, and having rapid beavers(& other woodland rodentia) attack goblins.

Darra, you're insane. I was going to delete this thread, but I hired a hitman instead.

playing the game right out of the box wasn't at all sciencey, that was the point. make character, play game. but, if you wished, there was so much more you could do with it. it had huge scope, and it would've been so easy for them to release it as just a single player game, play through it once, go spit. it's the closest thing to a P&P RPG on a computer. which is why roleplayers loved it.
and sure it's going to be a bit too D&D. it *is* D&D.

wtf why is this $100 used for the mac?

The Mac gaming market is insane. Since nobody plays these games, and there's little demand and few people buy them... Mac games hold their value for years and years! It's ridiculous.

Fuck corrupted dragons, for real.

LOLZ at Darramouss' turnaround on this thread.

Phil, just get the windows interface for mac and then get the game used for PC. Sounds like it'd be cheaper.

oh, good idea.

wait, how do i do that?

Honestly, I don't have any experience with it, but it doesn't look that difficult.

Basically you will need a full version/CD of Windows to install, with a separate partition of your hard drive for it and reboot to Windows when you want to game. It works well enough, but the inertia of staying in Mac OS X makes me not want to reboot, generally.

There are virtualization options that let you run Windows programs in Mac OS X without rebooting (Darwine, Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion) but these are, by and large, no good for games.
