Your character is recruited by Lady Aribeth, a noble Elvish Paladin, to track down four mythical beasts that could hold the necessary ingredients to craft a cure. The Wailing Death is a horrible plague that has brought Neverwinter to its knees, leaving the city reeling as its several districts have descended into chaos.
#NEVERWINTER NIGHTS ENHANCED EDITION LETO MODS#
While the Switch version doesn’t offer all the flexibility of the PC version in terms of fan-created mods and adventures, there are still a few exciting tales I look forward to coming back to.Īvoiding the classic trope of starting your adventure in a tavern, Neverwinter Nights has you craft an adventurer newly arrived in the eponymous town with hopes of helping the city’s officials find a cure for the Wailing Death. To get the best grasp of this edition, I took to the base campaign so I could find out what I had missed. The Enhanced Edition offers players a variety of campaigns to engage in, whether you are new to the title like myself, or a veteran that never dabbled in the continued support BioWare has offered. While I know this Enhanced Edition couldn’t possibly escape what made it of its era, Beamdog has put in a lot of effort to modernize this classic title. This time around, getting this exciting entry in the Forgotten Realms’ many tales on Switch offered an exciting opportunity for me.

It was easy to get lost for hours in the various towns, numerous character interactions, or kobold-filled dungeons that made up the adventures that were synonymous with “tabletop RPG.” Neverwinter Nights first launched for PC in June 2002 and I did not have the system to run it, so I sadly missed out. The classic isometric titles from BioWare are a lot of what I cut my role-playing game teeth on and were my introduction into the world of Dungeons & Dragons.
