Joke titles aside, I've been playing Neverwinter Nights both the original PC version and the Switch modern remake.
First impressions on the PC version is that it works on the old laptop running Win 7 and that despite cut scenes not showing (no movie only audio.) It's not bad can't think why there is not a decent remake for Win 10 or at least a facelift / remake patch so it runs without error.
The plot is rather up to date, seeing as there is a plague ravaging the city of Neverwinter and you've been tasked to hunt down some escaped critters that may have a bearing on a cure and that.
The city is divided into the criminal run docks, the poor quarter with its whopping undead problem and the prison and noble quarters which I've yet to explore.
The Switch version which is a modern remake for modern consoles and PC has its own issues, in that its reliance on doing everything by the shoulder buttons and control sticks makes it ten times more fiddly than it already is, And its already fiddly. Seemingly ignoring that the Switch has a touchscreen to deal with matters such as this. Its still a good game, just lesser than it should be.
Talking of Dale Winton (our title reference, yo.) I wonder if Beamdog are going to cover the Icewind Dale games.
