#NEVERWINTER NIGHTS ENHANCED EDITION INTERNET CONNECTION UPDATE#

In November of 2004, Bioware opened their own store and began selling what they called ‘Premium’ modules directly to consumers. This is a game that has enjoyed constant support and updates from the developer – across PC, Mac and Linux platforms. A previous patch makes it so that the CD is not even required to be in the drive to play the game. Neverwinter Nights is more than four years old and has a sequel fast approaching*, and Bioware has continued to issue patches that add features and content to the game. I had contemplated using that as a new ‘free module’ reference, but the scope and design was for a ‘premium’ module, so I have reviewed it as such and left the venerable ‘Eye of the Beholder’ as the reference. In between these modules a ‘canceled’ module – Darkness Over Daggerford – was released in August 2006, and I have played through that as well. Of course, since that announcement the Wyvern Crown of Cormyr premium module has been released – and of course I have included a review of that. Aside from the module review, there are other comments to put the entire series into context since Atari announced they won’t support any further official releases. 2006: this article has been updated to include the recently released Infinite Dungeons premium module. Oh, and I have replaced the original screens with ones from my Netbook!

Other than that note I’m leaving the article more or less just as I wrote it nearly five years ago with one exception – I’m putting a * next to stuff dealing with the sequel, Neverwinter Nights 2, and will address those items in a small update at the end. Since then Atari and Bioware are no longer connected by the D&D license, and due to contractual reasons Bioware has had to stop selling the Premium Modules on their store, but fortunately their master server will still authenticate the modules and let you play. “Bioware gives us more reasons to pay for Neverwinter Nights Premium Modules while still grabbing tons of great free ones!” That is what I said when I initially wrote this back in 2005 and still held true when I updated it in 2006 for a now defunct site.
