They'll just add a few transgender companions and call it enhanced.
The best thing about NWN series was the content creation, DM mode and persistent servers. None of that will probably be back with this EE, and very likely the existing user content will be incompatible too. Pointless release.

Smart franchise handling would mean to make a new game called NWN3 using D&D 5e and with a toolset and DM mode similar to what NWN offered, including persistent server capability. That would be a real hit, and I bet it'd even help D&D 5e to become more popular. A decent videogame that teaches you the basic rules is a good starting point for people that later tries the PNP game.
Of course, that'd involve working, so it won't happen.
I don't know what they expect to accomplish. New players that don't get the "context" will hate it because of the outdated graphics and engine. We old timers either hate it or have already played it, or both. Heck, it was even FREE on GoG not so long ago.
for fuck's sake...
You're probably thinking first chapter of Hordes of Underdark with its crazy multi-level dungeon. Although last chapter of Shadows of Undrentide sort of fits the description, too, but it's technically a tower, not a dungeon.It's been years since I played but wasn't one of the NWN1 expansions actually pretty decent? I recall the vanilla game being horribly boring but one of the expansions having good dungeon crawls.
I think most people should have it, I believe they were even giving it away for free at one point... Anyone who doesn't probably should take care of it now, since the remaster looks like prime free-range bullshit.I'm glad I already have the original on GOG...
Fuck those criteria. It came after bg1 and bg2 and it looked and played like those same devs all had a group lobotomy before they started making it.You're probably thinking first chapter of Hordes of Underdark with its crazy multi-level dungeon.

The OC is not all that bad by modern standards, I actually sort of enjoyed it back in the day, but the later chapters are just too linear / uninspired, and the randomized loot is just a kick in the nuts. The early portion that actually takes place in the plague-ridden city is kinda cool.
Kinda how I felt playing DA:O after NWN2 MoTB, so I can relate But I was still yiung when NWN1 came out, so it seemed decent at the time, and I still have a soft spot for it.Fuck those criteria.

Hm, what do you mean?Throw in a bunch of pictures that imply S&M and/or gay sex (like every old picture of drow like ever
Yeah, not surprising.I think I don't exactly understand it because NWN somehow escaped my attention, remember I looked at it in a store, but decided to not buy, maybe because of fugly 3D, dunno.

NWN 1 is one of the ugliest games I've ever played.
That terrible sterile look is just extremely off-putting.
Ah, the good old days of early 3D when people discovered they could do reflections with shaders and suddenly everything looked like it was covered in a thin layer of lard for maximum light reflection
That was pretty awesome, though.Yeah, early days of any technology tend to do that. I remember the days when CD games arrived, and suddenly every game needed 3 hours of cutscenes with real actors.

I mean... there were people not loving all those wonderful cheesy C&C, Emperor: Battle for Dune, MechWarrior 4, etc. scenes?
I really miss them. Much better than most in-game stuff.
