You'll recognize the races immediately when you try and create your first character, having the option to choose the commonly seen humans and half-elves, to the D&D-specific Tieflings. Familiar characters and classesĪny hardcore Dungeons and Dragons fan knows that the official list of character races you can choose from is already pretty great and is continuously growing with each new addition the creators dish out. One such MMO is Neverwinter, a beautifully designed 3D Action-MMORPG set in the Dungeons and Dragons universe. These come as a great alternative for those that love Dungeons and Dragons lore but hate the general tabletop feel or the slow pace of the game. The background of the Forgotten Realms and the promise of being able to create our own adventures is just the icing on the cake.There be no doubt that the Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) hype-train shows no signs of stopping anytime soon, and this is further reinforced by the appearance of online MMOs that are set in the D&D universe. Neverwinter is a very complete MMORPG with a solid base which provides it with a set of rules like the ones in Dungeons and Dragons. And just like in the board games (and any other role game) when we get a determined number of `experience´ we can go to a higher level. Resolve quests, kill enemies and carry out other kinds of actions related to each player´s character class, will help us gain experience. When we participate in these events, we will be able to enjoy the typical adventures of the Dungeons and Dragons games, which we will have to try and overcome with the help of our adventurers. Once we start our journey as adventurers we will be participants in a fantasy world which as in the majority of MMORPGs, is governed by events. Once we establish the background and appearance of our character, and it´s ready for action, it will be the moment to start our adventure in the city of Neverwinter and its surroundings, which is where the story takes place. We will also have to choose a race: human, half-elf, elf, dwarf, halfling, drow or tieflin and a class: explorer, warrior, cleric, wizard or rouge. This means we will have to start by choosing a name and sharing out a series of points between the attributes strength, ability, resistance, wisdom, charisma and intelligence. Like in most role games (specially the multiplayer), the first thing we will have to do when we start the game will be to create out character from scratch, something we will do following a modification of the rule established in the fourth edition of Dungeons and Dragons. Neverwinter is a multiplayer role game set in the atmosphere of campaign of the Forgotten Realms, which has the official license of Dungeons and Dragons and has been developed by veterans of the genre from Cryptic Studios.
