Birger's NWN Blog-Archive

Hey everyone, glad you wanted to pay me a visit :) As you may or may not know, I wrote and designed NWN modules between the years 2003-2009 , and I've had a nagging feeling for a long time that I want to do something more with them.  But what,  has been the main question. I've finally come to a conclusion: I'm going to write e-book versions of them . And this is going to be the place where I tell you about it.  But what about the PC-character? Players have made their own hero or heroine while playing my NWN mods, so how would this take form within an e-book? Well, I need to cement some kind of main character in order for an E-book format to work.  I've reflected upon this a lot as well, and when it comes to other games, I usually tend to use the same name for my characters. And especially when it comes to the Mass Effect & Dragon Age games.  A recurring name, which I actually used for the very first time in NWN (namely in  Stefan Gagne's The ...

Hey everyone :) Today, first and foremost, I was pleasantly suprised to see that a new module has been released from one of my favorite NWN1 Authors -- namely --  Chris Huntoon!   This new module will definitely be on the forefront of my playlist for the coming weeks! :P  Chris just releasing a new module made me think of his older work ... one that, still to this day, is one of my favorites among NWN1 modules.  Namely Shadow from a Soul of Fire  (SSF), whose mere name sends chills down my spine. Yeah, that's how much I love it.  So... why do I love it so much? It's (1) mysterious ... it's (2) dark ... and (3) creepy, in a cozy way . A trinity that I personally prefer very much.  Most of Chris' work is, in one way or another, inspired by Lovecraft , so if you're familiar with Lovecraft's work, then you'll feel right at home.  If not... then you can feel intrigued, since Lovecraft is considered to be one of the worlds most influential horror auth...

Hey everyone, hope everything is well with you all! 😀  At the end of last year I actually began replaying the Official Campaign (OC) for Neverwinter Nights! I'm having a blast, at lot more fun than I thought I would, actually.  I mean, the campaign is old, the game was first released in 2002 and my first thoughts were: I really love playing Neverwinter Nights modules and I would really like to love the OC as well, but does it still hold today? And yes, in my opinion, it does.  I love the characters (especially Linu, she's my NWN-OC-waifu 😉) and I personally feel the Bioware writing in them.  Sure, they're more primitively written than characters from Mass Effect, but that isn't especially strange, since Neverwinter Nights actually has its 20th year anniversary this year . But for its time, the characters are really great. 😍  The OC is especially nice when played with Beamdog's Enhanced Edition . If you haven't picked it up yet, I really recommend that you do...
