Neverwinter Nights Preview

A preview of Neverwinter Nights has made its way onto the MGON network, giving a two-page rundown of many of NWN’s features. Not really any new information, but still worth a read:

Players won’t need the Mother of All Computers to run a host computer, though you may want to look in to one of those for the smoothest experience possible. The maximum number of players is currently undecided, though BioWare is confident a high-end home based system will support up to 64 players. But wait… There’s more! If 64 players just doesn’t cut it for you, multiple servers can be connected through game “portals”. Have your character stumble through one of these and you may just find him or her on someone else’s computer. In other words, multiple systems can play host to a single game world. For example, a series of interconnected towns can be united using game portals. The possibilities for such technology married with the Neverwinter Toolset is really only limited by the player’s imagination. Unfortunately, I lost my imagination in the war, so I’m going to have to rely on you people.
