For sticking true to the module, I don't know how well it did, but judging it just based on a NWN module, it was poor in comparison to many other user-made mods. The dialogue was, imo, particularily stilted and painful to read, heh. But, I'm spoiled, since i stick mostly to the top-rated modules, and the majority of those have earned their high ratings

Their servers are filled with some of the most idiotic, foul-mouthed children I've seen online since playing Diablo way back when. GW is the absolute last MMO I'd recommend for someone wanting to RP.

I was going to use some of my time to get back into NWN and create a huge Greyhawk/Oerth world with as many modules as I could fit put into it. Things were going well; I'm avoiding looking at anything already done and starting from scrath on U1 and the "City of Greyhawk" boxed set.That changed today as I think things are not looking good over at Bioware. All the Premium modules were pulled without warning a while back. There is a lawsuit going on between Atari and Hasbro/WotC and it looks like their might be no new D&D software coming out at all for a while.Bioware announced today that all the NWN forums will be closed and archived and only one "catchall" forum will be available on their social page.I know there are members who feel fondly about this and feel this is sad news. Not sure how things work, but hopefully WotC or Atari don't have the power to hit the Neverwinter Vault or any of the fan sites. While unlikely, I still remember Marvel going after the Freedom force sites and threatening them with lawsuits.After 8 years, the game is still popular and the forums were still active and people are Still buying the game.Randomdays

Then they got in a HUGE argument over, who knows what. Atari decides to stick it to WoTC and NOT make any more D&D games, and stop everybody else from making any. Honestly, Bioware is just pulling the NWN stuff to be on the safe side; as they made their game BEFORE the rights were transferred over, they should be safe from any lawsuit. Absolute worst case scenario, when Atari loses the rights in a couple years, Bioware will be able to put all their stuff right back up, as WoTC will probably ask them to make the next game.All this REALLY pisses me off because hot damn, you could make a 4E video game friggin SERIES in your sleep. The rules are PERFECT for a massive, in depth tactical RPG, and I lose sleep some nights thinking about how awesome that game would be, and I plot Atari's death on a weekly basis. The petty bastards. Anyway, here's waiting for their agreement to expire!!Zenfinite
