INTRODUCTION
C
ongratulations on your purchase of Neverwinter Nights
Platinum!
N e v e r winter Nights Platinum re p resents the best of DUNGEONS &
DRAGONS
®
role-playing on the PC. I welcome you to a world
of epic heroes, horrific beasts, magic spells and ancient evils.
Tread the path of heroes as you transcend your humble begin-
nings as a humble adventurer. Enjoy the most complete D&D
adaptation ever done on computer.
The game you now hold is the end product of an incredible
journey in game development. Over a period of seven years, the
entire Neverwinter Nights gameplay experience was first realized
and then radically enhanced to the form you see today. From an
early vision, this game promised to be something more, some-
thing greater than the sum of the component sections. A single-
player game, a multiplayer game, a dungeon master client, and a
toolset all combined to make a truly amazing experience. Few
people have a chance to work on an enduring concept, and I
feel honored to have worked with many of the best people in
the computer games industry on a game which has stood tall
since release and is positioned to leave a lasting impression on
computer gaming.
I charge you to go the official Neverwinter Nights Community site
at nwn.BioWare.com (www.bioware.com) and try the excellent
user-created content available or enjoy our new premium down-
load service. I challenge you to develop your own content or
contribute in one of the many community content creation
groups online. I advise you to partake in an interactive adven-
ture with a live Dungeon Master and see the full potential of
our game.
I wish you well in your explorations,
