First bundles are live for the fanatical bundle fest. There’s a Payday 2 bundle with a ton of dlc that’s too rich for me, and a Neverwinter bundle I can’t really speak on
[snip]
Neverwinter Nights talk.
For people with zero NWN and love BioWare RPG's - this one is a no-brainer, even for just the NWN: Diamond stuff. There's at least 100 hours of content out-the-box, right there. The rest will probably be gravy on top.
It might get a little difficult here to decide, if you own some or all of NWN content and/or versions already. Depends on how much of the tons of content of
NWN1 most people own already and/or really need & have missing; the quality and/or quantity of anything NWN1 here that you're missing; and/or if you really need the new EE edition with better resolution, performance, and whatnot (if you don't have it yet).
NWN1 and its first 2 expansions (Shadows of Undrentide & Hordes of the Underdark) - overall, great package. Single player campaign talk incoming, which is probably about 100 hours or so.
NWN1 base-game was good, but not as great as say DAO or BG series. Solid foundation, but needed lots of work - as this felt thrown together (b/c originally, the game was just going to ship w/ the toolkit and people would build their own modules; this game was built for that and has tons of mods).
One of NWN1's base-game's campaign problems is that it really was built around 1 player with a companion they have little to no control over (out-the-box). The other, is that while I loved the stuff about NWN and the city with its politics and important characters (The King, Fenthick, and Aribeth) - eh, I didn't care much for the predictable, cliche, half-baked, and whatnot story about the revival of an ancient enemy.
Shadows of Undrentide improved, giving you more control over your companion and having a much more consistent campaign. BioWare didn't develop this, but FloodGate did. And it was good and solid, IMHO.
Hordes give us 3 party members with full control and tons of callbacks & returning characters from both NWN1 base-game (Original Campaign) and SoU. Hordes was great, as it offered-up tons of choice throughout, at the very end, and also lots of different permutations in the final game's outcome/ending(s). It felt like Hordes completed the saga in a great and fantastic way.
This is as far as I've played. Can't speak on the next stuff after Hordes (i.e. Premium Modules), so...maybe someone else can?
If you got from
GOG the NWN: Diamond version (old one), especially when it was free giveaway - you got NWN1, the two expansions (SOU & Hordes), and also the Kingmaker pack (which includes the Premium $-modules of Kingmaker, Witch's Wake, and Shadowguard).
The Fanatical NWN EE pack/bundle here includes all of the NWN: Diamond stuff listed above (NWN: original, SOU, Hordes, Kingmaker, Witch's Wake, Shadowguard) and also paid-modules of Pirates, Wyvern, Infinite Dungeons; and also a Heroes of NWN character pack.
Also, stuff which is NOT in this Fanatical NWN bundle - NWN:EE has also paid module versions (with more content, expanded story, some voice-acting, etc) from Ossian's modules of Darkness over Daggerford and Tyrants of the Moonsea; and there's some other module called Dark Dreams of Furiae by someone else (with not-so-great reviews on Steam). Anyone played any of those in the EE version?
There, there's plenty of thoughts and info on the overall excellent & classic NWN1 stuff.
ing unlikely.
