Neverwinter Nights: Infinite Dungeons

Bioware released a new Premium Module for the RPG Neverwinter Nights. Description from the homepage:

You've journeyed to Waterdeep to explore Undermountain, the most famous dungeon in all of the Forgotten Realms. According to the legends, there's treasure to be won, puzzles to be solved, and a mystery that will lead you ever deeper… But the legends never told you how deep it truly went.

Infinite Dungeons provides randomly generated adventures for characters of every level. Play with your friends or compete against your adversaries. If you dare, you can play alone. In the end, it all comes down to one question: Are you brave enough?

    Features
  • A New Dungeon Every Time
  • Epic Levels
  • Single Player
  • Cooperative Multiplayer
  • Competitive Multiplayer
  • New Creatures
  • New Music
  • Hours of Gameplay - The primary quest unfolds over 20 hours of gameplay.
  • Starting Level - This adventure will scale to any character level (1-40, 5-30 recommended).
    Requirements
  • Neverwinter Nights
  • Shadows of Undrentide
  • Hordes of the Underdark
  • Internet connection while playing
  • Microsoft Windows or Linux with NWN 1.67+
  • Corporate/campus firewall or proxy users require access to specific ports for online authentication

More information on the Infinite Dungeons homepage.

  Very Repetitive posted by Inhibitionist @ 209.113.239.146 on Jun 16 2006 1:08 PM  

Just finished up a review of the module (since it'll be the last one) over at PCBurn: http://pcburn.com/game_review-Neverwinter_Nights_Infinite_Dungeons.php

Is it just me or is the game extremely wade through the monsters oriented? I found that it got boring after an hour of solid monster hacking and treasure hoarding.

What'd you all think?

So it seems that Bioware is venturing into the age old random dungeon genre ala nethack...i do think the anti-piracy mechanism is kinda lame but i really like nwn and God bless bioware for their continued linux support has any happypenguin people played this yet. if its good i may have to pick it up

Internet connection while playing? Is it a MMORPG? To hell, it's too annoying.

It is no MMORPG. You need the connection to authenticate while starting a new game or loading a saved game. Afterwards you can cut the connection if you want.

If that is true, frack this. Seriously I thought about buying. Even though I know NWN wasn't always my piece of cake there are interesting Mods for it. But I ain't supporting this anti piracy crap that clearly goes beyond entering numbers into the computer or keeping the disc in the drive. It's getting worse. They can keep the their game.

Agreed. I own NWN (I bought it because I wanted the software for creating my own modules, since I thought I might using it while DM'ing a tabletop D&D game). However, I never did get the Linux client working correctly (after trying for many hours). I certainly won't be buying this add-on, what with all the cripple-ware features it requires. (This means I can't play it on an airplane or in a hotel room without a connection, and I spend half my life in one of those two places. Sad, but true.)

is NWN the best buy ever? I mean how old is this game and they still support it.

It is certainly a good buy, and not just because of Bioware: there is also a huge amount of brilliant stuff created by the community. You'll need NWN and both expansions (Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark), because many of the community-created modules use data from the expansions.

The only big downside is that the construction toolset was never ported to Linux.

Ye gods! What's wrong with big old gaming companies these days? First Lucas Arts only concentrates on Star Wars and dropped all the successful adventure games like Day of the Tentacle (Maniac Mansion), Monkey Island, the Dig - to just name a few. And now Atari wants to discontinue Neverwinter Nights/Baldur's Gate! That's just whack!! What are we supposed to do? All of us play bloody FPS?!?

They want you to buy NWN2.

And that, of course, is only for Windows and Direct X 9 - no Linux or Mac port plans.

*raises fist* If I ever find the one responsible for my life, I'll kick his sorry ass for making me go through this bullshit.
