(385 votes total)

A few, but nothing serious (169) 44%

Yes, the game is unplayable (47) 12%

By now it's pretty obvious to any serious Neverwinter Nights player that the long game development cycle did nothing to diminish the number of bugs NWN shipped with. Thanks to the updater utility users at least don't have to manually seek out patches any more (except for those poor souls who don't have an Internet connection available on their gaming machine), but a bitter taste remains due to continuous need for patching to which there seems to be no end. On the other hand, PC gamers are a very forgiving bunch, and most of us take a number of patches for granted, and we're prepared to suffer this nuisance as long as the game is worth it.

44% of participants in our poll declared that they've had a few problems with Neverwinter Nights, but nothing really serious.

27% of those who voted experienced more problems, but concluded that the game was still playable for them.

17% of poll participants were the luckiest, they experienced no problems with the game at all.

Finally, an alarming 12% of people who voted can't play the game at all.
