In addition, there is virtually no tutorial for either the rules of 3rd edition D&D or controls for the game itself, so a lot of the experience becomes trial and error. Unfortunately, the only enhanced aspects are the visuals (and only in terms of texture compression and monitor resolution) and having direct control of your character (rather than pointing and clicking).Įverything else actually seems worse, particularly interacting with merchants and working with your AI partner. I loved my copy of Diamond edition on PC back in the day and thought getting it on console would get my wife to try it, since she doesn't like using a mouse and keyboard but she loves D&D. I should have done more research on this before picking it up for Xbox One, but I was too excited when I saw it on sale. Incredibly disappointing, absurdly expensive port. For, even for nostalgia trip, the PS4 edition is not worth it. Which is what I should've done in the first place. Next time I feel like going back to the good old days, I'll just download the game off Steam for this laptop. Well, I did give it a solid try, and tried to play thru it. And it runs worse too! What on Earth went wrong?!? How, what, why? I could not believe it, but the game actually looks worse on my PS4Pro than it ever did on my old gaming PC (Win98, Pentium II, Voodoo 3). Shock at how bad a job they had done translating this masterpiece for PS4. For when starting the game (after 10GB patch download) it was not nostalgia that hit me, but rather disbelief and shock. So, when seeing the PS4 edition in a bargain bin, I dived in pronto! I loved NWN back in the day, and played it just as much as Baldur's Gate 1&2, sinking hundreds of hours into it. Some feats not selectable due to buggy dialog windows. Update after finishing chapter 1: Encountered 1 crash to home, 2 crashes on save, lost saves. I can't tell for sure if it's 30 or 60fps (feels like 60), but panning the camera never causes any stutter. In terms of performance, I am running this on PS4 Pro, 1080p. Together with up-close view this gives it such an immersive feel that it's a totally different experience from what I remember of the PC version. The lighting has been much improved with surfaces looking vibrant/colorful. Strategic/zoomed-out view is also available by tapping the touchpad. What enhanced edition (for consoles) did is gave you direct control of the character with just the right zoom level (think controlling Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn). Now for those who remember NWN on PC - console version is a much more immersive way to experience the game. Enhanced editions includes all the content of the Diamond Edition, which is main campaign, 2 expansions, and 7 or so standalone "modules" which are separate DnD campaigns with their own story/progression/etc.Īll of this is already on the disc and doesn't require downloads. None of the console versions include the Aurora Toolset included in the PC version, and custom modules cannot be used in the console version.First of all - critical info that is not always listed for this game. The PlayStation 4 version has Trophy support and the Xbox One version has Achievements support. The Enhanced Edition release on consoles was the first time Neverwinter Nights was released on consoles. A new release is being developed which will replace the original campaign menu with a brand new menu select screen, allow for arbitrary percent magnification of UI, and introduce a new scaling font to the game. An increased amount of settings is present in the PC version of the Enhanced Edition, as well as a new UI option that allows the UI to be zoomed in and rendered at 2x size. ![]() Upgrades past the original release of the game include a Beamdog server listing that replaced the original GameSpy listing which was shut down and cannot be used in the current timeline.
