Of course, the real fun of having a DM is generally getting together a group of friends. The only real fault of the system, as it was with the old pen-and-paper RPGs as well, is that the quality of the game depends almost entirely upon the skill of the DM. The DM mode is revolutionary, allowing cyber-dungeon masters to create episodes, dialogue, characters, and monsters, then manipulate everything in real time. These are picayune faults, however, and the good aspects of Neverwinter outshine its problems. It is not, however, the nearly perfect game that many expected - a humdrum story mars the experience. To Neverwinter's credit, it is a solid game with strong gameplay, innovative aspects, great multiplayer options, and a powerful level creation tool. Of course, with lofty expectations all too frequently come high standards, disappointment, and mediocre games. For everyone who missed the pen-and-paper role-playing games of the seventies and eighties (lots of people), Neverwinter sounded like a dream come true all the fun of the interactive D&D games, skillful DMs, and computers to handle the complex statistics. Neverwinter Nights was closely watched throughout its development because of what it promised: the ability to play old-fashioned D&D games, with powerful dungeon masters (DMs), through linked computers.
