Pretty good game
I've enjoyed NWN. I've only played as one character so far, but there's a lot of replayability there. However, I've been frustrated by the bad multiplayer interface, especially since I bought the game to play multiplayer.

Great game, lousy release quality
Let me get this out of the way: I've had a lot of fun playing NWN since its release in 2002 (ish?), so if u want to delve into DnD action I can tell you this game is excelent.

Why 4 stars and not 5? I have the original boxed NWN plus the two expansions, and bought 3 Diamond licenses (like this one) to play over LAN with my nephews. Problem is, the activation keys on (all? most?) of the Diamond packs are busted, you have to e-mail tech support and they'll ask u to send a digital photo of the defective cd keys, only then they will mail new keys that work and let you install the game. It kinda kills the "shrinkwrap" experience for me.

My favorite type of game.
This was like Dungeon Siege + Elder Scrolls wrapped into one game. I didn't enjoy the story or characters as much as I did in Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, but this game gives you all kinds of freedom with it's open-endedness. I love how any game with Wizards of the Coast labled on it has similar D&D city names & weapons, so it's like one big game that never ends. The only thing I didn't like about the game was the lack of variety in environment designs & how difficult it is to add mods too (it would help if the moddrs added more detailed read-mes for new players & stopped acting like anyone who'd mod this game already knows where to put things). Accept for Aribeth's cheesyness & incessant blathering, the voice acting is very good. I regret that it's the only classic WotC game I own that doesn't have a book tie-in; I'd have enjoyed reading it. I've never played a game with so many official expansions; some available only through BioWare's website.

Neverwinter Nights
Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Compilation Pack (DVD-ROM)
I really like the game and plan to purchase the expansions that were not included in the diamond collection.

What a collection! A highly recommended CRPG experience
I am a big fan of the Forgotten Realms fantasy setting and have been playing CRPG's for quite some time now. This is without a doubt one of the best RPG collections out there, providing multitudes of gaming options! and I do mean options. There is a seemingly limitless supply of adventure throughout this bundle, and I have yet to finish all of it! The bundle includes:

* Neverwinter Nights
* Shadows of Undrentide expansion pack
* Hordes of the Underdark expansion pack
* Game modules from the developers of NWN
* All patches and updates + toolset

I have played the original NWN and the expansion packs, and can say that they got progressively better with each. My main complaint about the original NWN was the lack of ability to control and have full access to your companions inventory. They corrected this in the expansion packs. So far my personal favorite and most recommended title in the package is the "Hordes of the Underdark" expansion pack. Its an incredible multi-faceted adventure spanning the underdark and Cania, the 8th level of hell.

The graphics and visual effects in the games are great, and even today provide some impressive eye candy. The games feature plenty of dialogue between NPC's, characters, and people of the Realms to assist in providing a true, in-depth RPG experience. Basically it boils down to this; If you enjoy CRPG's, and would like a fun, intuitive and challenging set of them to choose from, this set is for you. At <$20 it is unbeatable, as is easily worth more for the hundreds of gaming hours the package provides.
