Neverwinter Nights 12+

Great Port with Minor Issues

I started playing this game on the iPad because I like the portability factor. I played it when it originally came out and seems pretty true to the original. I like the setting but it is a little static because it’s a relatively early crpg game. The main issue I have is that I bought all of the premium modules, but I can’t seem to get them to install. All I get is a white box with a line with only the word cancel in it. Is there something I am missing or is there another program that has to be install. All of the premium modules now say install but they won’t. I think this iPad port has great potential. I really like that the classics have been ported to this platform.

Updated Review. I can download all the DLC but tyrants of moonsea. It just stops downloading around 6 or 7 seconds and then asks me to install again. The game plays great and the touch screen seems to work well but it was a little confusing at first when you are used to PC edition. It is really nice having this as a game on the iPad.

Correction: Managed to install after 7th time trying. I look forward to playing it.

Hello! Do you use iOS 14 Beta by chance?

I love this game on iPad, but HATE the camera angle

I have played NWN for years and jumped at the EE when it came out, I play it on both my iPad and my PC at home. Once I figured out to put the buttons on the left side the game is set up beautifully for chat and whatever you need in a quick click intuitive way. I love the new textures that keep coming out and all the plans for future enhancements. I wish other game companies would take a page from your book. However, I can’t give the 5 stars I really want to give, because of the steep grade of the camera angle, you are not able to target at the full extent of the range of your ranged attacks. I have found many things discussing all that need be done is change the .Ini file. I have found no way to do this on an iPad. It is very frustrating how close I have to be before I can target. The second camera issue would be resolved by decreasing the angle of the default camera to be just a little more behind, instead of above the character. I tried the camera in Follow, Drive and default, all of the options and Could not increase my range of sight. Still, the trees blocked the camera, allowing only the small bubble of sight. I do love everything else about the way NWN ee plays on the iPad, but the shortened range of sight is really terrible. Please look into changing the default for iPad users. Thank you.

Thanks for your feedback!

Very good for pc to IOS conversion

The PC version is still way better than the phone/tablet version, but it is very good for what it is. No ads and minimal in game purchases that mirror the PC version. Biggest draw back is that the character and screen view are way easier to control on PC and the larger screen on PC is much more fun. All that being said, the conversion to IOS from PC preserved and adapted most game functions in an understandable and intuitive way that makes picking up the game easy. One other draw back is that modules u purchased on PC seem to need to be bought again for IOS. Would be nice if those and your own custom modules just preloaded from steam onto IOS and characters too. While there seems to be a work around for tablet, there does not seem to be for iPhone. Still an awesome platform conversion!
