[MR] Neverwinter Nights

[Stephanie Shelton]

No, actually **NERD ALERT** I was playing MUDs at the
time the original NWN came to be.

I have never actually played the game but will be
buying it for myself for Christmas, right after I
finish Christmas shopping for everyone else.

I love playing games online when time permits, my only
dislike has been the little jerks that come along with
the gaming world. So, it seems like this is a group of
adults who play which means it may turn into my new
virtual home.

I dont know. I'll have to try it out. I read up on it
last night, I am a bit worried about multi player
mode. Not sure I am understanding how everything works
but hopefully there will be a few "locals" to help me
out.
