Neverwinter, from developer Cryptic Studios and publisher Perfect World Entertainment, is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, or, more specifically as the game's title suggests, in and around the Forgotten Realms city of Neverwinter. At the game's beginning, players select from the standard fantasy races, from dwarves to elves, and a variety of classes, including the normal range of some that specialize in different weapon types while others prefer the use of magic. After a brief introduction to the various gameplay mechanics, players arrive in the city section of Protector's Enclave, which serves as the primary hub for partaking in quests, participating in player-versus-player combat, and buying and selling items at a wide assortment of market vendors.

The game’s Daily Quest system is keyed to the Foundry, encouraging its use. I’m sure some players are using it by just farming the shortest missions, but I’ve chosen top-rated missions regardless of their stated length and I’ve generally been having a good time with the user-created content. Of course, it’s a total mixed bag, so be sure you read the description of a quest before taking the plunge. The game supports French and German-language quests as well as English.

The most striking feature of Neverwinter is the player-based creation system. With Foundry, players are able to create their own D & D style missions using a complex and extensive dynamic set of tools that provides game components and a sandbox environment to create your own adventures, map and script. Once your creation is complete, players can post it so that other users can have fun and complete, with the right to receive rewards and experience points.

There are five classes to play around with in the game: Guardian Fighter, Great Weapon Fighter, Devoted Cleric, Trickster Rogue, and the Control Wizard. Their names tell you exactly what you can expect to get out of each class and they’re all neat enough to make you want to play around with each one. Each class also has a specific dungeon skill that will let them access hidden areas or treasure; the rogue can see & disable traps while the great weapon fighter can open hidden chests.

Now personally, I don’t mind the linear nature of the game. This is probably because I’m more accustomed to playing single player experiences that always reach a definitive end, and in this regard, there certainly comes a point when Neverwinter hits that inescapable end-game wall. Whether you’ve reached the level cap of 60 or not by the time you finish the final stretch of the story, there’s very little incentive to keep on grinding towards that goal, despite the promised updates and future quest expansions that will be factored in later on down the road. In many ways, I think a large part of whether or not you wind up loving Neverwinter will boil down to how linear you like your MMORPGs.
