Neverwinter Nights is set in the D&D Forgotten Realms campaign setting and has an epic story-line in a gameworld that focuses on the multi-player component. This creates an environment more akin to the pen and paper model that D&D enthusiasts are accustomed to. In the spirit of the original Neverwinter Nights that thousands enjoyed on America Onliner, the game play is taken to a higher level by allowing players to create their own game worlds.
