NWN vs Pathfinder kingmaker I Can't decide, Help

[Nightingaleze]

If I only have to choose between 2 of these games what should I buy?

First, I want the Dungeon and Dragons game that can play infinitely but want to keep the real D&D experience not just an RPG game MMO thing that doesn't have choices that matter.

Is Never Winter Nights the right one to buy? I played it for 1 hour but it wasn't different than normal MMO. Maybe because I didn't explore much of it. and some review videos told me that We could control only our character and a small party size of only 1-2. If more must be Mod

And the fact that Pathfinder reviews said that it has more depth of D&D very strictly. Combat that has Turnbase same as Baldur's gate 3 , makes me not sure what I should buy between these games. also why steampage NeverWinterNights has really few people reviews...

I'm not sure If I should spend my money on NeverWinterNight or Pathfinder Kingmaker instead? If anyone has both 2 games experiences please convince me. I just want A game that is Second from Baldur's Gate and can play infinitely

Neverwinter Nights, aside from the basically endless slew of new gameplay you get from it via mods (which include entire series of modules, the addition of classes not included in the base game, graphics updates, etc) also has the cool details you don't see in games anymore. For example, if you play a character with less than 10 intelligence, they will talk to NPCs like the illiterate moron they are, and the NPCs will certainly take advantage of your character's idiocy when speaking with you, because they know you may not understand that you're being insulted (it's my favorite part of the original campaign.) The expansions are mostly good (I don't much care for Infinite Dungeons.) Plus, if you get Neverwinter Nights, you have 22 years of player-made modules to catch up on. Even if you have all the time in the world to play them, it'll take you a very long time to play all of the best ones, and more are being made even now. Then there's the multiplayer: Persistent Worlds made and maintained by players are alive and kicking. Roleplay, hack n slash, PVP, you name it, they got it.

I think your requirements are impossible to meet.

-- Infinitely replayable: no game is, unless it's multi-player
-- Choices matter: that can only be solo-player experience and a campaign with the story
-- In-depth DnD experience: no matter the game, it can only be an approximation to the rules. Or it can have DMs, which NWN can somewhat provide for in multi-player


In my opinion, NWN1 is the best DnD game that was available, is available and ever will be available. This is because it can have DMs and campaigns created by the community and no other game ever will provide for that (because there's no money to be made there). But your requirements focus on the gameplay, so I'd recommend to reconsider your requirements - else you won't be happy with whichever choice you make.

What holds for WotR holds for Kingmaker.
