An article on Kotaku just made me remember that five years ago today I bought a copy of the original Neverwinter Nights. Technically, since I pre-bought the game, I bought it 5 years ago as of a couple of days ago, but let’s not split hairs. I still have the spiral-bound manual and cloth mapkin. Five years later, I’ve repurchased the game and some expansions, and still haven’t made it past Act 2 (out of 5) of the main Quest, and haven’t touched any of the expansions’ content. But I did fool around with the campaign editor for several hours before I realized that I would need to learn a second language to make the scripting work.
