wasnt NWN free to play?

I remember trying it out years ago and eventually getting really frustrated with all the pay-walls. Am I mixing up games or did they change this? Also if I put down the cash to buy it now....does it have P2W or in-game store advantages for cash? Cuz thats a big factor for me.

That's NWN the mmo. This is a different game.

You're mixing Neverwinter MMORPG with Neverwinter Nights.
2 different games.

thanks folks. I ve found the "neverwinter" game I previously sampled after the replies.

Now...the original Neverwinter also was a MMO just like the enhanced edition is. Whats the essential differences between the two games? I could check online (and will anyway) but if anybody has the minute to outline the differences for me in a few lines I d greatly appreciate it.

Neverwinter Nights, this game, is not an MMO. There is a multiplayer mode but it isn't the same thing. The game is mostly a single player RPG, similar to Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale although this game is on a 3d engine and uses a different ruleset (I think?) so there are different classes and build options. The enhanced edition is an updated improved version, similar to Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale enhanced editions where the games are updated to run on modern platforms and various quality of life and balance tweaks to improve on issues the original game had.

Neverwinter, the mmo, I don't know much about. I've never actually played it, mostly because I had played games by the same developer and knew about the pay to win aspects they usually used. They share a name only because they both used a DnD setting for the games.

The game NEVERWINTER: https://store.steampowered.com/app/109600/Neverwinter/ is an MMO based VERY losely on the original Bioware Neverwinter Nights (and is not anything very special imo).

The original NWN game (and the EE version) has a community-based free to play Multiplayer aspect (persistant worlds).

There was also an online game called Neverwinter Nights back when that meant AOL, not the Internet. :)

And don't forget the 2004 mobile game. :P
