No matter how far down you come in the pecking order, you’ll always find someone uncooler than you.
But considering how the wider world views computer gamers, this is just geek snobbery. The one with the helmet haircut and the hand-knitted scarf that made him look like his neck was in traction.
If, In The great playground of computer games, the FPS is the school bully and the RTS is the brainy kid, then the hardcore RPG is definitely seen as the kid whose mum gave him the wholemeal bean sprouts and hummus sandwiches every day. Clearly, NWN is going to set a new high watermark for the genre it may even change the face of gaming forever. NWN also promises to set new standards in graphical terms, shedding the archaic 2D of Baldur’s Gate for a fully realised 3D world, as well as going nuts with pyrotechnic special effects. As Greg Zeschuk, joint CEO of Bioware explains: "The thing I think players will like most about the game is its flexible nature - you’ll be able to play Neverwinter Nights in almost every conceivable way, certainly more than any other game." Then there’s the hugely powerful NWN Toolset, which allows you to construct your own game modules and play through them with your friends (or complete strangers on the Net if your friends frown on such behaviour). In a very cool twist, the DM not only oversees the action but can enter the fray at any stage by possessing a creature in the game world. Taking pen-and-paper RPGs as a model, Bioware has created an impressive Dungeon Master mode, which allows one player to take control of the game, shaping and directing the experience for the other players.
