Will you buy Neverwinter Nights?

Yeah, the game came out on June 18 ... so this poll simply asks whether you got it or not, or if you're gonna get it at all

I myself got it. It's a good game, and it's worth playing ... How about you?

Yeah, I bought it. However, I'm thoroughly disappointed in the story. Get these 4 things! Find these 2 things! Search for these 3 things!

Sorry, that doesn't do for to me. The only redeeming feature of this game is the combat. I am completely enjoying killing things. Other than that, it's stale and flat. The game has only given me a few rare chuckles, and none of the dialog is all that engaging. The story is boring, cliched, and consists of nothing other than fetch quests. Fetch this item. Fetch these items. Find this NPC. Find this item. Bleh.

This is definitely something I won't buy, it didn't take me long to see that this is something really different than I expected.

Nova, you were expecting a non-diablo clone ?

Most of the games that have come out since Diablo 1 have either been added more effects & video details or they have been pumped up with other extras, but when it comes down to it, it's nothing more than a scroll, move mouse, click & bug goes squish game.

That's what has happened with DS & AC, that's what you should expect from NWN.

Anyway I'll be getting it once it's shipped here, I don't care if it's another Diablo clone, heck it'll be a nice coffee cup holder anyway, I think my D2 boxes have already had too much coffee split on them.

I expected a Baldur's Gate 2 class game. Which is a reasonable expectation. However, that is not what was delivered.

And it's not a diablo game either, you can't just 'click click click'.

'click click click' I'll see if I can anyway

I won't be getting it. From what I have read, seen, and heard in here..I am staying away from it.

Dungeon Siege had a better premise..and I got bored with it quickly enough. Back to playing Tac Ops with bots in solo.

Nope, not buying it. Funny though, a year ago I was hella pumped for Neverwinter.

I for one, have been waiting for it forever (even more than I did Dungeon Siege) ... I'm a big RPG nut, so it was one title I couldn't afford to miss ...

It's actually pretty good if you don't expect it to be Baldur's Gate II 3D ... Much much better than Dungeon Siege in single player, that's for sure ... But to each his own
