It all adds up to make this feel like a real world with real history and very real inhabitants, but beyond even that, the game does a great job of making you feel like an integral part of that world, rather than some insular hero who comes out of nowhere to save the day and then disappears.Ī large part of what makes the story so interesting is that you play an active role in the way it unfolds. In addition to the main story, the world is full of side stories that you can explore or ignore as you see fit. You'll get a heavy dose of political treachery shattered, shifting, and solidified alliances ethereal mysticism dark secrets and much, much more. As cliché as it sounds, the story reaches far beyond the usual good-versus-evil plot. It's a long journey that involves the awakening of an arcane and unstable evil power that only a chosen savior (guess who?) can banish. After you create your character, you are taken on a journey that will see you rise from your beginnings as a humble peasant to become one of the most respected and elite heroes of Neverwinter.

You can choose a race, subrace, appearance, class, moral alignment, and even a voice for your hero. You begin the game by creating a character.
