Overview
A plague known as the Wailing Death is terrorizing the city of Neverwinter. Lady Aribeth summons an adventurer, who teams up with her fiance Fenthick Moss and his friend Desther to capture four monsters which are needed to prepare the cure. However, the matters become more complicated when the protagonist is attacked by mysterious assassins. It seems that an evil cult is behind the infestation, and the hero must find out what its ultimate goals are, and eventually save the city.
Neverwinter Nights is a role-playing game based on the third edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules. The game utilizes 3D graphics with a zooming function and free camera rotation. Combat is handled in real time, and is similar to that of Baldur's Gate series, allowing the player to pause in-battle to issue orders. Unlike other RPGs that utilized this system, Neverwinter Nights allows the player to fully control only one character. Various "henchmen" may join the hero during the journey, but their functionality as party members is limited, as they cannot level up, have no inventory, and only follow general commands.
Enhanced Edition is an updated re-release of Neverwinter Nights: Diamond that includes:
- Neverwinter Nights (base game)
- Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide (first expansion pack)
- Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark (second expansion pack)
- Neverwinter Nights: Kingmaker (premium module package)
- Updated interface, added graphics options such as pixel shaders, post-processing effects, contrast, vibrance, and depth of field, gameplay changes based on requests from the community and new multiplayer servers
