Editorial Review:
Neverwinter Nights Diamond is the total package from the award-winning Neverwinter Nights gameplay. From Bioware the developers of Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights is an Advanced Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. Neverwinter Nights has been designed specifically for the online, multiplayer environment and the latest in 3D technology. It also allows anyone to experience all the magic of pen & paper Dungeon-Mastering on a home computer. Neverwinter Nights' powerful and user-friendly Solstice Toolset allows creation and population of entire new modular worlds and stories for others to adventure in. Enter a multiplayer module as a DM (Dungeon Master) and alter plots, possess characters and manage combat from behind the scenes all in real-time. Shadows of Undrentide offers role playing fans more Dungeons and Dragons features than the ground breaking original. Additional skills, such as Tumble and Appraise, additional feats, such as Divine Might, Extra Music and Bullheaded, additional new weapons, such as Holy Water Flasks and Choking Powder, additional new prestige classes, such as Harper Scout, additional new monsters from the Dungeon and Dragons universe, such as Medusa, Cockatrice, Sphinx, and Female Fire Giant, and additional new spells. Hordes of the Underdark is the 2nd expansion for the revolutionary role-playing game Neverwinter Nights. BioWare has created a dark and dangerous world of adventure set in the world of D&D. Your mind is sharp from hundreds of books studied, callused hands from years of weapon play, nimble feet from slipping unseen and unheard past thousands of guards and unshakable faith in gods worshipping. But is it enough for the final terror? As the last hope for the Forgotten Realms, you must face the unstoppable and decide the fate for all. As the hero, are you a legend? Epic levels, new prestige classes, new creatures, spells, feats, weapons and new tilesets to explore endles

After waiting patiently for MacSoft to release a combo pack of the Neverwinter expansions, I decided to go ahead and purchase this one.

Good Value for the money:
With all the free online play (some of it very good) and the standalone campaigns as well as the module design software Neverwinter is an outstanding value and Diamond is the most inclusive.
Mad as heck:
I bought this game over a week ago from Amazon and would really like to play it, but so far have been unable to do so. I have the original NWN and have had no trouble playing it on my Windows Vista quad core machine. Then I installed this Diamond collection. The message I received on my screen said that the game is not compatible with Windows Vista. Fine, so I go to the website to download the patches and load one patch, still the game doesn't work. Then I try to download the other patch and its over 100 mb... more info
Good Game / Minor Problems:
Pro's: Good DnD Game, as always. DVD makes install a breeze. A lot of replay ability and classes to choose from. Definitely a good way to spend twenty bucks. Con's: While it is hard to find con's with the game itself, here are some problems I had. 1st, Windows Vista, you must download all the Bioware updates before even trying to play this game. Otherwise, windows will block it completely. Along with this you still get loading screen crashes and it may take you a few attempt to get into the game (Right... more info
