| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) | comment |
Neverwinter Nights was the first RPG by BioWare to be made completely in 3D, and their first game based on the Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition. There are several things that NWN is known for. One of them is the official campaign, which takes place in the Forgotten Realms universe, or more precisely the Sword Coast, in and around the titular city of Neverwinter.When Neverwinter is struck by an unknown plague called the Wailing Death, four Waterdhavian creatures are brought to the Neverwinter Academy in the hopes of extracting components for a cure. Unfortunately, the Academy is suddenly attacked by unknown forces and the creatures are scattered across the city. Lady Aribeth, a paladin of Tyr who has been placed in charge of investigating the source of the plague, enlists the player character to retrieve the cure components and save a city in chaos.Unlike Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights is a more multiplayer-oriented RPG with more emphasis on online co-op (due to a lack of a traditional party system) and a persistent setting as when players die, the game continues with the player(s) being sent to a temple in the hub town/area with an EXP and monetary loss as punishment unlike story-driven RPGs where the player is simply forced to reload a save.While the game received mostly positive reviews, the campaign was occasionally criticized as being repetitive and lacking in memorable characters, as well as being a departure from the rich, detailed worlds of the Baldur's Gate series. The area where NWN really found its niche was third-party content: the Aurora Toolset, an unorthodox example of a development kit included in the basic game installation, allowed users to easily create their own modules and campaigns. This gave rise to a vast modding community with ambitious projects.Two expansion packs Shadows Of Undrentide and Hordes Of The Underdark stepped away from the original campaign and focused on character development, roleplaying, and the intricate storylines for which BioWare is renowned (although only Hordes was actually made by BioWare; Undrentide was instead developed by the Looking Glass expats from Floodgate Entertainment, led by the LGS founder Paul Neurath). These proved to be more popular with fans.BioWare additionally released a number of "premium modules" as paid DLC. Short self-contained adventures, many of which were created by community members hired by BioWare, the premium modules became deeper and more complex as designers familiarized themselves with the engine and new tools were developed. The first three, Witch's Wake, Shadowguard and Kingmaker, were compiled into the third expansion, Kingmakernote which is not to be confused with the similarly-titled Pathfinder game released a decade later. Three more were made: Pirates of the Sword Coast, Infinite Dungeons and Wyvern Crown of Cormyr. While the modules themselves were well received, they required a constant connection to the Internet as DRM; the modules in Kingmaker do not have this feature. When the premium module initiative ended, several projects were left hanging, though Darkness Over Daggerford and Crimson Tides of Tethyr were released for free later. BioWare stopped selling the premium modules in 2009.The Aurora graphics engine, which debuted with NWN, proved to be successful and enduring, and various heavily modified descendants of the engine were used throughout the 2000s, most notably the Odyssey engine in the Knights of the Old Republic series and the Electron engine in Neverwinter Nights 2. The main engine with modified graphics was also used in The Witcher, though CD Projekt RED has stated they were less than fond of the engine, claiming it responsible for many of the technical flaws present, leading to them developing their own engine from scratch for the sequel.The full game, including the premium modules, is available at GOG.com. In 2017, developer Beamdog announced Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition, which was subsequently released on March 27, 2018 and, later the same year, ported both on Android and iOS. The original campaign was retroactively called The Wailing Death in it.The original AOL MMORPG from 1991 that shared the same name has its own page. | |

Hotter and Sexier: Aside from the addition of romance sidequests, there are numerous succubi and fairy characters with curvaceous character models, the game's initial Big Bad, the Valsharess, attempts to sexually seduce you in a confrontation, and the character descriptions for most any female character are sure to mention how beautiful they are. | |

Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Many NPC portraits were traced from photos of various real-world celebrities, which got the creators in legal trouble when it turned out that some of the original images hadn't been properly licensed. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: The very first version of the game had several portraits of prominent NPCs based on real-life celebrities and models. Due to likeness rights they had to change them and a patch quietly swapped the portraits out for new ones. Here's a showing of the originals and their replacements. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: In Chapter 3 during the war, a sidequest has you investigating why the Uthgardt Elk Tribe has allied with Luskan when historically they have been enemies. When you speak to the chieftain of the tribe, he reveals that the Neverwinter commander at Fort Ilkard, Damas, infected the tribe with the Wailing Death... by giving them plague-infected blankets. Just to hammer home the Anvilicious parallels, when you confront Damas with his crime, he spouts off a racist rant about how Neverwinter has the strength to take the lands of the Uthgardt, therefore they should and they are right to do so. | |

Purely Aesthetic Gender | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_164583e3 | comment |
Purely Aesthetic Gender: Mostly played straight. Male or female has no effect on character building and only minor effects on gameplay. One is a minor sidequest concerning a female courtesan which can only be acquired if you're a male. Female characters with high Charisma are catcalled or flirted at by some NPCs. One effect is a bit more important, in that male characters can take Aribeth as a romance option and use The Power of Love to convince her to make a Heel–Face Turn at the end of the game. Female characters can pass a difficult Persuade check to the same end, so being a female does not stop you from doing this, it's just much harder than if you play as a male. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: In Chapter 1, you bump into four companions from the original campaign: Tomi, Daelan, Linu and Sharwyn. Since this takes place after the Wailing Death, they're all high-level adventurers. Which makes it all the more disturbing when they're picked off one by one after charging into the Undermountain together, Tomi making it furthest and barely getting halfway through. You can resurrect them though, and are given a free means to do so before entering Undermountain. | |

| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: The opening cutscene closes with one: In a dialogue with Deekin, he mentions that he's going to be writing a book about your adventures, and asks you to give it a name. Naturally, one of the options is Hordes of the Underdark. Or "Anything but Hordes of the Underdark", prompting some scribbling on Deekin's part. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: In the first game you're encouraged to stab yourself in the heart in one place. Sure, the game drops some heavy hints that it will take you to the spirit world, but you're still stabbing yourself in the goddamn heart! This gets particularly bad if you take a close look at the altar. There's a skeleton on it, almost certainly belonging to that crazy dwarf you encounter in there. | |

Fractional Winning Condition: Chapter 2 ends after you complete four out of five main quests presented at the start, though it is possible to complete all of them, since the final stage triggers when you speak to the seer and you don't have to return to her before you have beaten everything.

Day-Old Legend: Averted here, where a weapon or piece of armor made by in-game will have the flavor text describe it being made by the specific blacksmith, in the current year and for the current campaign but in the same style as the "ancient" equipment◊ so it feels like the player is crafting their legend for future adventurers as they play the game. This is played straight in Hordes of The Underdark. The game take place only a few months later and you find the über version of those same items, only they have new backstories. | |

The ultimate fate of Prince Ahmed is also left unanswered. | |

Protagonist Without a Past: The player character is given no backstory prior to coming to Neverwinter except a generic racial motivation of why you are there. This is in contrast with the sequel (and almost all other Bioware games), in which the protagonist's past is notably significant to the plot. | |

Karma Meter | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_276ad49e | comment |
Karma Meter: While the original campaign rarely gave or took notice of your alignment (unless you went out of your way to do evil things), alignment in this and Hordes is treated like this. Subverting the law (usually by going back on your word or by stealing things) shifts your alignment to Chaotic, while upholding it (keep your word) shifts to Lawful. Good and Evil meanwhile shift depending on if you're good and evil, naturally. | |

Bag of Spilling | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_28104b90 | comment |
Bag of Spilling: You wake up to find a drow assassin stealing all your stuff. In-game dialogue allows the PC to hang a lampshade on it by repeatedly claiming you "only want [your] stuff back!" Which you eventually can get back, mostly, provided you remember to loot one of the drow encampments. But by then you've probably found better counterparts for many of the items anyway. | |

Uncertain Doom | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_2854b56d | comment |
Uncertain Doom: Prince Ahmed's fate in Witch's Wake is left ambiguous due to the unfinished state of the plot. While the main character watches him die fighting and has the option of burying his body on the battlefield after they regain consciousness, a ghost you can find in the afterlife claims Prince Ahmed isn't really dead, as his spirit hasn't joined with the rest of the souls there. | |

Top-Heavy Guy | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_28951c74 | comment |
Top-Heavy Guy: The Half-Orc characters (male and female) are all built with a very large chest on top of legs which proportionally seem to be a lot thinner. The trope is somewhat downplayed because their arms aren't so muscular compared to the chest. | |

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_29f44d3a | comment |
Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: Inverted with normal merchants. The game doesn't tell you is that there's a cap to how much merchants will pay for any item no matter how valuable, and the more you progress in the game the more the cap raises. This means that merchants in Chapter 3 will be willing to pay tends of thousands of gold for items where merchants in Chapter 1 would have only offered a couple thousand gold for the same item. Played straight with the djinn merchant Volkarion, however. He horribly rips you off on the items you sell to him, and if you comparison shop with other merchants you can usually get one and a half times what he offers for the same item, if not much more.note In Chapter 3, the devil merchant in Cania will pay up to 50,000 gold for an item, assuming it's actually worth up to that much. Volkarion won't go any higher than 15,000. That's hundreds of thousands of gold he's scamming you out of. The fine print is that you can summon Volkarion and use his services anywhere, any time — that sort of convenience has to have some sort of drawback. | |

No Hero Discount: Lampshaded twice: You can ask a merchant why he doesn't just give you free pick from his inventory since you're fighting to save his life, but he notes if you fail and the siege goes poorly he'll just teleport to safety, so your success or failure is of no consequence to him. White Thesta she still charges you, but she says she's lowering her prices to only cover the base cost of the items since you are fighting to save the city. They're still pretty pricey though. | |

One True Threesome | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_3a2da4c3 | comment |
You can make one between yourself, Nathyrra and Aribeth. You can flirt shamelessly with both of them if you take them as your henchmen, and at one point when they stop to talk to each other the conversation briefly switches to their feelings for you. The endings for the two actually don't conflict at all if you try to get both of them to fall in love with you, which would seem to imply you end up with both of them. A particularly racy dialogue option with both of them in the party actually has you trying to convince them to "share" you...and potentially succeeding! | |

Wretched Hive | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_40cbee83 | comment |
Wretched Hive: The city of Neverwinter has become this. What used to be the "Jewel of the North" was completely brought to its knees after months of Wailing death raging in the city. Piles of corpses are found at every corner, some charred, others left forgotten to rotten open-air. The streets are overrun with gangs, zombies, thugs or citizens driven crazy by the epidemic. The city guard can and does little to keep order, and most people are left to fend for themselves. Only Blacklake district and the City core remain relatively safe havens, barricaded and protected from the surrounding devastation. Luskan, a port town ruled by five pirate High Captains, where crime and poverty abounds. By the time the player arrives there, the city is stuck in a civil war, three captains are already dead and most of the city has been abandoned or is closed off. The quest requires you to pick a side in the war between the two remaining High Captains Kurth and Baram, both of whom are absolute bastards. | |

Platonic Prostitution: A given since the game is rated T, and also given a justifiable Hand Wave that it isn't strictly legal, so the involved parties allow each other plausible deniability. Ophelia runs the Moonstone Mask, an establishment where its workers give "comfort" to patrons, which takes many different forms including food, drink, talk, and "other" activities. However, her workers are under no obligation to do anything they don't want to do with someone they don't want to do it with, and you only pay for the opportunity to see one of them, in a private room with a bed; what you do in there is between the two of you and none of Ophelia's business. No one ever said anything about brothels or courtesans. | |

Temporal Paradox: Discussed and averted in Chapter 3, where you can use a time sink to temporarily travel back in time. The person who gives you the means to do this warns against taking items from the past back to the present and also warns you to try not to leave anything in the past. Not that doing either of these things impacts anything. | |

But Thou Must! | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_504e271f | comment |
But Thou Must!: Invoked in the most non-subtle way possible. After the first chapter, the mage you freed in the final battle places you under a geas that forces you to track down and kill the Valsharess, or die. Of course, the mage is the notoriously Ax-Crazy Halaster Blackcloak. | |

Non-Combat EXP | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_5432a8a1 | comment |
Non-Combat EXP: In addition to Quest EXP, Neverwinter Nights and its sequels include a few instances of XP beyond combat. Some conversations have bonus XP nestled in them for "roleplaying" options, there are times where avoiding the combat encounter will grant as much or more XP than fighting through it (if you're over-leveled for the fight). One notable quest involves visiting a brothel. You gain experience points, for, um, sweet-talking a staff representative. If you're a halfling male, you get another opportunity to avenge a staff member's stalker. | |

Plot Coupon: Heaps of them.

| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_57d43e40 | comment |
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: The Bedine are fantasy Bedouins, nomadic tribes who ride camels, wield scimitars, wear veils, and live in tents in the desert. As is common in the Forgotten Realms setting, the sourcebooks say they were actual Bedouins, transported from Earth to Faerun thousands of years ago — through one of Toril's many portals, where they intermingled with the survivors of the fallen empire of Netheril and eventually came to worship their gods. | |

Designated Villain: A rare in-universe example. Seemingly subverted by Fenthick, as it is clearly established that he was not at fault in his unwitting involvement in Desther's plot, and the government only had him executed because it was the only way to quell the riots after the Plague. Then the sequel comes along, and his spirit makes a cameo in an area specifically stated to be populated by the souls of Faerun's worst traitors... | |

Our Nymphs Are Different: Kingmaker's Kaidala was a broadly normal D&D nymph but she was persuaded by dryads in the forest she lived in to bind herself to a tree as they are... only to lose most of her racial powers and receive terrible scars on her face after her tree and the rest of the forest was burned down. Given nymphs' hat being Proud Beauties, the disfigurement bothers her more than the loss of power. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: The henchman items. Provided you know where to go, most of the items needed to complete their quests can be found easy immediately after you leave the Temple of Tyr when you start the game proper, and once you hit level four or five, you can talk to them repeatedly to finish their quest, turn in the item they need, and get a magic item. Particular mention to Boddyknock's Lantanese Ring (Regeneration, +1 Charisma), Daelan's Amulet of the Red Tiger (Immune to Fear, +1 Strength), and Grimnaw's Amulet of the Long Death (+10 Spell Resistance, +1 Constitution); these are all very useful effects to have in the early game and beyond. The blacksmith in the City Core in Chapter 1 can forge you some custom gear with a magical weapon and appropriate corresponding reagent, like holy water, adamantite, ironwood, etc. If you know which quests reward those reagents, and get a little lucky finding a magical weapon to go with it, you can pick up such a custom-smithed weapon before you get the first cure reagent. The custom weapons have varying effects, but most have a chance to inflict some sort of debuff on hit or deal some sort of magical damage on hit, as well as retaining their +1 bonus to hit. You'll find yourself holding onto them for most of the chapter once you get them, and probably for a long time in Chapter 2. | |

Contractual Boss Immunity: Many dungeon bosses have extreme resistance to magic, just to keep from being an Anti-Climax Boss whenever a sorcerer casts Charm Person on them. However, the waves of reptilian Abusive Precursors in the final dungeon of the original campaign seem to be resistant to every freaking spell except some spells that were added in later expansion packs. | |

Replay Value | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_6325aec5 | comment |
Replay Value: The sheer amount of side quests makes it hard to find them all at a first playthrough, only a single henchman's questline can be completed in its entirety (assuming all the objects they're looking for are even found, which is not easy) and the romance option varies accordingly to the player's sex (Aribeth for males and Aarin for females). Some quests can be completed through the use of different skills, others can't be completed at all without the right one, and many quests can have several different outcomes. The player's personality can vary from a Knight In Shining Armour, to a sellsword Only in It for the Money or a downright Villain Protagonist. All this makes room for an huge variety during each playthrough. | |

You No Take Candle: The kobolds. Actually, being Dungeons & Dragons Kobolds, they're as intelligent as a human, and have a developed, if exceptionally violent, culture. Their poor language stems from their typical genocidal hatred of anything except dragons and other kobolds; they consider Common beneath them and don't bother to learn to speak it properly. There's an Ogre Mage who has a sarcastic retort to a player character who observes that he's very well spoken for an ogre. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality: The Charwood subquest, full stop. All that is clear is that at some point, the village children were gathered up and killed en masse so Karlet Jhareg could transform himself into a baelnorn. Beyond that each of the involved parties has their own version of events told from their perspective, and their memories are spotty due to the magic that has trapped the castle in limbo. To a degree, all of the culprits bear at least some blame for the crime, but who to finger for the blame above the others is up to you. You then have to decide if you shall keep them all trapped in limbo as prisoners, or if you shall release them rest peacefully but in doing so you will also free Belial the Demon to return to the Abyss; there's no way to punish him without condemning the rest of the village. | |

It's even easier to get these if you turn the "gore" setting in the options to maximum (or "special" in the Enhanced Edition). Play a cleric or paladin against undead, use your Turn Undead ability, and Hilarity Ensues. | |

| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_76c72a08 | comment |
Schrodinger's Gun: When you recruit Aribeth as a henchman, you can either turn her good or evil. If you turn her good she's loyal to you right up to the end and will try to resist the final boss's attempts to convince her to betray you. If you turn her evil, she'll betray you on her own and claim they had planned it this way all along. Rather inconsequential though, since you can still turn her back to your side with a Persuade check. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: To deal with the illithid, the Seer suggests a diplomatic strategy, and tasks the player with finding away to persuade the Elder Brain of Zorvak'mur into leading the whole illithid to withdraw their support to the Valsharess. The Elder Brain will request the Shattered Mirror in exchange, so that they can use it to protect themselves from the Valsharess. Nothing prevents you from disregard the diplomatic approach altogether and raze to the ground Zorvak'mur, but in doing that the illithid will be only barely weakened and still participate in the invasion of Lith My'athar. However the Modular Epilogue completely subverts this: if you ignored Zorvak'mur, it will grow powerful enough to infiltrate the surface of Toril; if you handed over the Shattered Mirror, they will use it to dominate their region of the Underdark. If you chose to destroy Zorvak'mur, the illithid there will be so weakened to succumb to their former drow allies and become their slaves. | |

Experience Penalty | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_80eb807a | comment |
Experience Penalty: A Multiclassed character receives a 20% exp penalty if the levels of their individual classes are apart by more than one (for instance, a 3rd-level Wizard/5th-level Rogue). When travelling with companions, experience gains percentages are reduced depending on how many characters are in the party. (This is balanced out by the fact that the game will spawn more enemies, and therefore a higher base exp, for larger parties. | |

Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_812ee32b | comment |
Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: Zigzagged: At lower-to-mid levels this is mostly played straight. When you rest any spells you've used up are recharged, and you can rest anywhere as long as there are no enemies around, even on the third floor of an ancient ruin. The result is that after only a few levels, Wizards becomes much more powerful than Fighters, with area-of-effect magic to take out enemies and powerful status spells to cripple boss-type foes and protect the Wizard, and they only need to stop for a few seconds of real time to sleep and recharge their spells between encounters. Their utility Spells Knock and Find Traps are also amazingly useful, virtually eliminating the need for a Rogue skillset by automatically unlocking all locked containers and doors, and detecting and disarming all traps, in a large radius around the Wizard. Finally, there are numerous side quests and extras like crafting magical items that only spellcasting classes can access; by comparison there are no quests exclusive to melee classes. At higher levels though, it starts to get inverted. There's a limit to how many spells of each level the Wizard can store, and most spells have a hard cap on how strong they can become (the signature Fireball for instance maxes out at 10d6). However, enemies will continue to level scale, thus a Wizard will need to devote more spells of higher levels to take out even trash mobs, and need to stop to rest to recharge their spells more often. On the other hand, melee classes can keep raising their Strength, and get increasingly powerful weapons with bonuses to hit and damage along with other special benefits, and they get Feats like Great Cleave, Improved Power Attack, Devastating Critical, and more, that let them tear through weaker enemies like paper. Their inability to cast spells is eventually nullified too — the campaigns provide steady access to magical items that let you cast spells for free and you can buy and stockpile wands and potions from stores as you save up money. While there are side-quests only spellcasting classes can complete, when a major questline requires you to use a spell, the game usually ensures you can find an item that can cast that spell specifically so non-spellcasters aren't locked out of progression. | |

Fishing for Mooks: Works great—Hide or Move Silently works against every enemy separately, and mooks who noticed PC pursue on their own, leaving their pals idle.

Absurdly High Level Cap | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_91526ff7 | comment |
Absurdly High Level Cap: Installing this expansion makes it possible to reach level 40, but even if you complete every last sidequest and kill every last enemy, you should expect to finish somewhere between levels 25-30. The rest is left up to community modules to make up the difference. | |

Randomly Generated Loot: The game itself doesn't feature it, but it's possible to add in a scripted module. It is actually done in the "Home Town" multiplayer module (running on the Viking Northeast AU server) to imitate the way the Diablo game generates its loot. | |

The people of the Empire see him as divine, although there is some evidence that he and his nation have a rather darker side. | |

She's the one who hired J'Nah to kill Drogan and steal the artifacts — in particular the tower statue, recovered from the ruins of the Netherese city of Undrentide and instrumental in her Evil Plan to raise the city back into the sky. | |

Chainmail Bikini: The Valsharess' armor, black and spidery, deliberately made to resemble a dominatrix outfit made of metal — she even uses a whip as her weapon. If you pause the game right when she dies, you actually have a small window of opportunity to loot the Valsharess' armor. Interestingly, if equipped by male PC or your companion Valen it STILL looks like a spiky bikini. | |

BoringYetPractical | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_9c63834f | comment |
Boring Yet Practical: Items with Regeneration. Regeneration restores HP every round, equal to the power of the Regeneration enchantment - most items have Regeneration +1 and only restore 1 HP a round. The reason it's so good is that once you clear a room of enemies you're naturally going to loot the room and continue in the dungeon, and over that time you will slowly recover HP. It probably won't heal enough to make the difference in fights, but it'll save you a fortune in healing items by healing you over time between fights. Knock and Find Traps. Level 2 and 3 spells that unlock all locked doors and containers around you, and disarm all traps around you, respectively. You'll cast them a lot right up to the final dungeon. Mind spell immunity and Haste are each so universally useful that once you find items providing them passively (like a Golden Circlet or Boots of Speed respectively), most characters will have limited reason to ever use anything else in that equipment slot. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing The yuan-ti you hunt in Chapter 1 basically directly tells you that the ancient Lizard Folk are rising and are to blame for the plague, but her speech patterns make it easy to dismiss her words as power-mad ramblings. A sidedungeon in Chapter 2 makes it even more clear, with a book directly naming the Big Bad long before anyone else has or before you even see her and know who she is. In Chapter 2, Aribeth tells you the story of how she became a Paladin, and her life story really begins with her pursuing a tribe of orcs out of vengeance for wiping out her village. The player can lampshade that that kind of murderous, vengeful rampage doesn't sound like Aribeth. Come the end of the chapter, when she performs a Face–Heel Turn out of vengeance and grief for Fenthick's execution, it contextualizes both her distant and her recent past in a new light. While there are several Plot Coupons you can collect in Chapter 2 to proceed, one such Coupon involves you receiving a vision from the Spirit of the Neverwinter Wood, showing you just what the cultists were looking for around Port Llast, but in the context of the vision your character doesn't know what it is they're seeing. Chapter 3 will directly explain what it was and how it relates to the story. | |

Polyamory: A male character can romance both Nathyrra and Aribeth, and if you declare your love for the former and get the latter named as your true love, this can result in a conversation where the two of them decide to share you, Nathyrra directly saying "there's room for both of us in his bed". Normally a glitch prevents Aribeth from being flagged as a candidate for your true love and thus prevents this from happening, but ten seconds poking into the source code for the campaign to change a single digit in the coding makes it accessible again. | |

Our Kobolds Are Different: Standard D&D kobolds — small, yapping reptilian humanoids, weak, cowardly, and not particularly bright, but deceptively skilled with traps and ambushes. They attack Hilltop at the beginning of the campaign, poisoning your mentor and setting the plot into motion by stealing four artifacts left in his keeping. They serve a young, unusually friendly white dragon named Tymofarrar — and one member of the tribe, the kobold bard Deekin Scalesinger, is even a potential party member. Dealing with the kobolds forms one part of the main quest for Chapter One. | |

And I Must Scream: While seraching for the Words of Power the PC finds a strange snowglobe. A white dragon has used the magic of one of the Words to prolong his life indefinitely within a miniature world within the snowglobe. He was keeping a clan of dwarves and a number of dryads as slaves and, when they rebelled, he punished them by causing one group to go insane and constantly attack the other, alternating which group is being slaughtered and which is being compelled to do the slaughtering, bringing them back to life as they are killed so death is no escape. This has been going on for hundreds, possibly thousands of years. You can't even free the poor dryads and dwarves from the snowglobe though killing the dragon does at least stop the curse, allowing them to work together to make their miniature world more comfortable. | |

Magic returned to Toril, but the vast powers of the Netherese were lost to the ages. | |

| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_b5a39030 | comment |
Hub Under Attack: The original campaign starts with a cultist attack against the Temple of Tyr in Neverwinter, which has taken delivery of several magical creatures intended to be ingredients for a cure for the magical plague affecting the city. The creatures escape in the confusion, forcing the PC to spend the first chapter recapturing them. Due to the ongoing plague, the Temple serves as their hub. Hordes of the Underdark starts at an inn in Waterdeep that sits over one of the entrances to Undermountain and acts as the Hub Level for chapter 1. The plot is kicked off when drow from Undermountain attack the inn. The companions from the first campaign dive into Undermountain in pursuit of the surviving raiders, and the PC follows in their wake. | |

And then there's the fact that the name of your true love, and the name of the Sleeping Man's true love, are both chosen at random when you ask the Knower of Names who they are. There's the possibility that your henchman (or henchwomen, if you're a male with the two females) is in love with you and you with them, but the Knower of names reveals your true love to be someone else, and this same person is also the true love of the Sleeping Man, who is loved by the Knower of Places. The Knower of Names herself could also be someone's true love and she's in love with Mephistopheles. Ultimately, almost every conceivable permutation of Love Triangle can be achieved by some combination of characters, or even multiple combinations at once, all thanks to the Random Number God. | |

Obvious Rule Patch | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_b89ed08a | comment |
Obvious Rule Patch: In the original campaign there were numerous exploits to get lots of money and exp by talking to someone to complete a quest objective, then clicking on them without exiting conversation to start the conversation over and get credit for completing the objective again. This game allows you to do the same, but only the first attempt gets you rewards. | |

Boss-Altering Consequence | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_b915b765 | comment |
Boss-Altering Consequence: The battle with Klauth can be made easier by bringing him an artifact charged with the energy of a dead dragon body, which he will try to consume only to lose a good portion of his health. One of the Words of Power requires defeating a number of ancient golems. They are immune to most forms of damage, but you can do some Retroactive Preparation by traveling to the past and convincing the slaves building them to introduce a weakness to one damage type. Defeating them without doing so is still possible. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: The PC in Kingmaker gets this pretty much right at the start. Their four friends that they adventure with have all been killed. Two can be resurrected but the other two must go on to the afterlife to power the resurrection. As such the PC must choose two of their friends to die to save the other two. | |

Decoy Antagonist: Both J'Nah and Tymofarrar. They cooperated on the plot to sack Hilltop and steal the artifacts, making them the most visible antagonists of Chapter 1. However, J'Nah is ultimately just hired muscle, and Tymofarrar has no particular involvement or interest in the setup beyond wanting to collect some new shiny loot. Heurodis, the real Big Bad, doesn't show up until later. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Between the Eilistraee-worshipping drow led by the Seer and House Maeviir, the original residents of Lith My'athar. Although the latter were forced to flee the Underdark cities because of the Valsharess, they have ideologically nothing in common with the Eilistraee followers and never miss the opportunity to mock them as cowards and weaks. Shouldn't come as a surprise that Matron Mother Myrune of Maeviir intends to pull a Face–Heel Turn against the Seer. | |

Cutscene Incompetence: At one point, you have the option to take out a large number of drow holding a formian hive in slavery, or just sneak by. If you agree to save the formians, you're treated to a cutscene of your character storming through the gates and shouting to call the enemies' attention to themselves. Not very fun if you're playing say a rogue or some other character who was hoping to rely on stealth, tactics, and maybe not taking on every enemy in the area at once. | |

Big Bad Wannabe | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_c67af1b0 | comment |
Big Bad Wannabe: An upstart drow matriarch calling herself the Valsharess ("Empress" in Drow) has made a decent start at Taking Over The World, conquering much of the Underdark and extending her attacks even to the surface — something almost unheard of for the subterranean drow. Naturally, she's presented as the Big Bad, and the game also makes a point to stress how exceptional she is. She probably should have seen her replacement coming, however, considering she was gaining her power from a bound devil, no less than the archdevil Mephistopheles, lord of the eighth layer of Hell, and the second-biggest Chessmaster in a place whose level of scheming makes even the endemic Chronic Backstabbing Disorder of drow society look like a picnic. Inevitably, Mephistopheles manipulates her to bring in the Player Character to kill her and let him free, leaving him to lead a much more credible bid at conquering the world in the final chapters. | |

With This Herring | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_c7270d1c | comment |
With This Herring: Downplayed, compared to the original game. At the beginning of the game you have your items and equipment stolen by a thief, but since you're there to take up a job the innkeeper posted, he gives you free access to the inn's armory to re-equip yourself before you set out. The stuff in there isn't high-quality but that's to be expected given he's just an innkeeper, and at the least he has a fairly wide variety of gear stored, so almost any class will be able to at least suit up properly. As well, though you sadly don't get to collect on it in-game, the reward he put up for the quest you signed on for is 100,000 gold pieces - a huge fortune for anyone but an epic-level adventurer spending all his cash on high-level magic items. | |

My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Jaboli in Kingmaker is a rakshasa, a species of aristocratic tiger-like fiends known for enslaving other beings. Jaboli found her life among her fellow rakshasa boring, and secretly socialized with the slaves to entertain herself. In time, she became sympathetic to their cause and joined them in their rebellion. When the revolt failed, Jaboli chose exile rather than execution. | |

Deekin counters by offering to point out the problems with Sharwyn's book, and she grows indignant, sniffing there are no problems with her book. | |

Video Game Caring Potential | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_c9861848 | comment |
Video Game Caring Potential: You can often refuse rewards for quests, and if the quest giver is impoverished or in need, you may have the option to give them some of your own money to help them out. When rescuing someone from a dungeon, you often have the option to offer to escort them to safety, though they typically don't take you up on it. When an enemy surrenders when weak and asks you to let them go, you can agree. Doing these things usually results in an alignment shift to Good. You also frequently have general dialogue options to be patient, compassionate, and understanding, such as asking someone about their wellbeing before delving into plot-relevant topics. | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: The final boss, Mephistopheles, the second most powerful Devil in the multiverse. Compare to Baldur's Gate, where in TOB you get to punch out the multiverse's number one Demon as a Superboss. On top of that, Mephistopheles lacks immunity to instant-death magic. This means that even though he has very high saves, you have at least a 5% chance to kill him with a single spell like Finger of Death. | |

This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: In Chapter II you explore a dungeon chock-full of various golems and other constructs, that respawn thanks to a patrolling NPC that revives them. As your hench(wo)man takes the time to explain at the entrance, golems are not pleasant enemies to fight. Fortunately in the ground floor rooms you can find a few weapons that have bonuses to hit and damage against constructs. With them the golems will fall in a few attacks and go from annoyingly strong to annoyingly persistent. | |

Achilles' Heel | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_d7639dba | comment |
Achilles' Heel: Invoked in Chapter 3. The Creator Ruins are defended by golems that are completely invulnerable to all types of damage. When you use a time sink to travel back in time to the era of their construction, you must ask the slaves building the golems to give them a vulnerability. The slaves agree, but can only give the golems one specific weakness, any other deficiencies and their masters will notice. Thus when you travel back to the present, the golems are invulnerable to all types of damage except the type you asked them be weak to. | |

Ludicrous Gibs | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_db33bc7e | comment |
Ludicrous Gibs: The spell Destruction destroys most targets with a cloud of blood and imploding gibs, even if it's an object, such as a door or crate. This spell can also be applied (up to level 40) to gloves (punch the enemy/object for gibs), weapons (hit the enemy/object for gibs), and armor (get hit to gib the enemy). The epic-level feat Devastating Critical does the same to anyone hit by said criticals, and keep in mind that NWN rules radically increase the critical hit rate over 3rd Edition rules they're based on (you may get a critical per 1-2 swings). Doing enough damage to destroy an object will smash it into flinders. This gets truly ridiculous when you have say, a halfling barbarian, wielding a dagger, destroying what appears to be an iron-bound chest... It's even easier to get these if you turn the "gore" setting in the options to maximum (or "special" in the Enhanced Edition). Play a cleric or paladin against undead, use your Turn Undead ability, and Hilarity Ensues. | |

Know When to Fold 'Em | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_e16cd24e | comment |
Know When to Fold 'Em: Many (sentient) boss-level enemies will stop the fight and chat with you when they get weak, and usually do so to try to negotiate for their lives. One of them twists this into I Surrender, Suckers; it has Regeneration, and just uses the conversation to stall for time while its wounds heal, once it's feeling better it laughs at your naivete and begins the fight again. | |

Reptiles Are Abhorrent | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_e24d2d5c | comment |
Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Zigzagged. Many of the antagonists for the expansion are reptiles, including a tribe of kobolds, their master the white dragon Tymofarrar, a medusa who is the expansion's Big Bad, Heurodis, and the slave-taking asabi merchant Ashtara. The kobolds, however, are mostly Played for Laughs, Tymofarrar is surprisingly friendly, Ashtara eventually lets you go, and one of your companions is a good-hearted, loyal, only moderately annoying kobold bard, Deekin Scalesinger, who was popular enough to return in Hordes of the Underdark and again for a cameo in the sequel. | |

Both felt betrayed by the city they protected and turned evil, and became blackguards, leading an assault against their respective city, dying in the process. | |

Nerf: Resting is given a significant downgrade in Witch's Wake, healing you only partly instead of fully as in the main campaigns. A more minor downgrade is also present in ShadowGuard, where resting will fully heal your character and companions but requires your character be carrying provisions to eat to do so. | |

Hordes of the Underdark starts at an inn in Waterdeep that sits over one of the entrances to Undermountain and acts as the Hub Level for chapter 1. The plot is kicked off when drow from Undermountain attack the inn. The companions from the first campaign dive into Undermountain in pursuit of the surviving raiders, and the PC follows in their wake. | |

No Ending: Both the Witch's Wake and ShadowGuard modules were meant to be part one of an ongoing story but some very strange Executive Meddling meant both had to be discontinued, leaving off on cliffhangers with much of their stories and settings never to be revealed.

| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_eca97994 | comment |
Face–Heel Revolving Door: Aribeth again, though the severity depends on what you do. Between the original game and Hordes of the Underdark, Aribeth can be a Paladin who turns evil, turns back to good, seemingly turns evil again in Cania (Hell), turns good again, then sides with Mephistopheles in the final battle until you use her True Name to sway her back to your side. Nathyrra gets accused of this by some in-universe due to switching from her original House to serving the Valsharess to serving the Seer. As she is quick to point out the first two were just matters of practicality and survival while the third was an actual moral decision. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Neverwinter Nights (Video Game) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: In the final chapter you can learn the True Names of many characters, which allows you to command them to do anything and they must obey. Aside from the Big Bad, who you can command to die on the spot or to swear servitude to you, most of the potential speech options are uninteresting. However, forcing people to do things they may not want to do is obvious Video Game Cruelty Potential, and the options already available are as well, which may be why you're limited to two or three commands. | |

No-Gear Level: Downplayed with the cave below the Beholder Tunnels; you don't actually lose your gear but the entire area is covered with a dead magic zone so all magic gear becomes a basic, non-enchanted version of its type until you leave. Given the high end magic items the player will have by now that's generally quite the drop in power. | |
