Originally posted by robertthebard: I still see it as people play the way they want to. I find some RP servers to be far too anal about RP. However, that's the way they want to play the game, and it can be fun, every so often. I can roleplay, but I don't play that way often. More likely, I'm playing to get out of the stress of whatever I'm doing. Bad day, go kill stuff. Scripts won't work? Go kill stuff, take a break from the harsh realities of building, and go kill some monsters to relieve stress. I can powergame with most of the best of them, and I have builds on Z's server that would qualify for the epic builds page, but they are far too munchkiny, is that a word, for that. It all comes down to what people prefer to do, and there is no right or wrong way to play. As I said before, it's about having fun, and if people are having fun, it's all good.

And that is in effect, what NWN's is. A creation tool to make mods and servers any way you please. They aren't hardcore about forcing RP or D&D rules, and of course something is lost in the translation from tabletop to video game anyways. While the epic levels aren't for me personally if I want to be syickler about HCR D&D, that doesn't mean I didn't PvP on max servers for months with stats maxxed out and "uber" characters (that tells you how long ago it was since that word was actually popular at the time). I played all different scenarios, mods and servers. I did all kinds of different things. In the strictest sense PvP has no place in D&D but that didn't mean it wasn't fun. It was tons of fun. I know the issue isn't PvP but im citing this simply as one thing that broke with D&D as we know it but still had a huge audience.
