It's been a while now, but here are more top scores for Neverwinter Nights.

Evil Avatar (3/5)

And there it is, the haunting question that computer role players have dodged for a decade. Do we really believe that a computer, with its limited interface, difficult set up, and complex software can adequately replace the actual social environment of role playing? It’s clear enough that you’re not likely to wander into a happenstance public server worth spending time in, so if you’re going to take the time to develop a regular gaming group, why do it across a network? If there is an answer to that question, then clearly the growing number of people who enjoyed a brief love affair with Neverwinter Nights only to abandon it haven’t gotten the memo.

OcPrices (Excellent)

It may not mean much to you but when I murder everyone in a pub I want people to know I want the guard to try and beat me to death, I want to be shunned by my former allies, I want to become the videogame equivalent of Michael Winner; feared and hated by all.
Although it may seem a minor point, for me it’s the computer game equivalent of a set wobbling in a TV show- It utterly destroys the sense of emersion.
In short Neverwinter Nights is a damn fine RPG, unfortunately it’s not the revolution in role-playing we were promised. Bioware had best start work on Baldur’s Gate 3...
