NWN Intro story

[Memnoch]

Thought you guys might be interested in this. It's the official NWN intro story.


Players begin the official campaign in the northern city of Neverwinter on the eve of a deadly and all-consuming plague. The sickness spreads quickly from its origin in the beggars' quarter, and soon all of Neverwinter is under quarantine and falling victim to what will become known as the Wailing Death. A plea for help is sent to the allied city of Waterdeep, and the powerful wizard Khelben Blackstaff Arunsun arranges for a collection of rare and magical creatures to be delivered to Neverwinter where they might serve as reagents to a cure. The heavily guarded caravan enters the troubled city with great secrecy, but to no avail. Somehow betrayed, the caravan is beset by unknown assailants who succeed in releasing the Waterdhavian creatures into that Neverwinter night.
At the behest of Lord Nasher and the young Tyrist paladin, Aribeth de Tylmarande, the adventurers of the city set out to recapture the dangerous creatures of Waterdeep, cure the Wailing Death, and unravel the conspiracy of Neverwinter's mysterious betrayers. With the lifting of the quarantine, the players follow the web of betrayals north, in search of answers and the words of a lost prophecy.

That's a different city. The city of Neverwinter is on the Sword Coast, north of Waterdeep, south of Luskan.

I´ve heard the Europian release date is march 2002, so the Americans among us will probably have it a few months sooner.

According to the main age the US release date is September 15th.

Winter 2001 but that could mean anything.

I'd hope that they got it right before releasing though, look at what happened to Ultima Online, that had so much potential but now the whole image of the product in the marketplace has been irrevocably tarnished. I'd rather they waited and made sure it all worked the way it's supposed to before releasing.

I bought the new Forgotten Realms Campaign sourcebook from Amazon.com last week and some of the Prestige classes and Feats available for Faerun-based campaigns looked excellent. If they can implement some or all of those (Red Wizard, Shadow Adept, Archmage, Divine Champion, etc) this game will kick some MAJOR ass and will revolutionize online gaming.
