Product Description: Neverwinter Nights Diamond is the total package from the award-winning Neverwinter Nights gameplay. From Bioware the developers of Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights is an Advanced Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. Neverwinter Nights has been designed specifically for the online, multiplayer environment and the latest in 3D technology. It also allows anyone to experience all the magic of pen & paper Dungeon-Mastering on a home computer. Neverwinter Nights' powerful and user-friendly Solstice Toolset allows creation and population of entire new modular worlds and stories for others to adventure in. Enter a multiplayer module as a DM (Dungeon Master) and alter plots, possess characters and manage combat from behind the scenes all in real-time. Shadows of Undrentide offers role playing fans more Dungeons and Dragons features than the ground breaking original. Additional skills, such as Tumble and Appraise, additional feats, such as Divine Might, Extra Music and Bullheaded, additional new weapons, such as Holy Water Flasks and Choking Powder, additional new prestige classes, such as Harper Scout, additional new monsters from the Dungeon and Dragons universe, such as Medusa, Cockatrice, Sphinx, and Female Fire Giant, and additional new spells. Hordes of the Underdark is the 2nd expansion for the revolutionary role-playing game Neverwinter Nights. BioWare has created a dark and dangerous world of adventure set in the world of D&D. Your mind is sharp from hundreds of books studied, callused hands from years of weapon play, nimble feet from slipping unseen and unheard past thousands of guards and unshakable faith in gods worshipping. But is it enough for the final terror? As the last hope for the Forgotten Realms, you must face the unstoppable and decide the fate for all. As the hero, are you a legend? Epic levels, new prestige classes, new creatures, spells, feats, weapons and new tilesets to explore endles

Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Compilation Pack (DVD-ROM)
I really like the game and plan to purchase the expansions that were not included in the diamond collection.
Rating: - What a collection! A highly recommended CRPG experience
I am a big fan of the Forgotten Realms fantasy setting and have been playing CRPG's for quite some time now. This is without a doubt one of the best RPG collections out there, providing multitudes of gaming options! and I do mean options. There is a seemingly limitless supply of adventure throughout this bundle, and I have yet to finish all of it! The bundle includes:
* Neverwinter Nights
* Shadows of Undrentide expansion pack
* Hordes of the Underdark expansion pack
* Game modules from the developers of NWN
* All patches and updates + toolset
I have played the original NWN and the expansion packs, and can say that they got progressively better with each. My main complaint about the original NWN was the lack of ability to control and have full access to your companions inventory. They corrected this in the expansion packs. So far my personal favorite and most recommended title in the package is the "Hordes of the Underdark" expansion pack. Its an incredible multi-faceted adventure spanning the underdark and Cania, the 8th level of hell.
The graphics and visual effects in the games are great, and even today provide some impressive eye candy. The games feature plenty of dialogue between NPC's, characters, and people of the Realms to assist in providing a true, in-depth RPG experience. Basically it boils down to this; If you enjoy CRPG's, and would like a fun, intuitive and challenging set of them to choose from, this set is for you. At <$20 it is unbeatable, as is easily worth more for the hundreds of gaming hours the package provides.

Rating: - Atari's only interest is Money.
I'm another dissatisfied customer who had issues with his CD Keys. Atari was kind enough to provide me with new CD Keys so I began the install and update process. The auto update feature threw an error and I had to download a critical rebuild. After about an hour and half of installing downloading and installing some more I was finally able to start playing the game. Low and behold I had yet another error. Certain character models in the game lack color and appear white. I emailed Atari and waited the 10 business days but they never bothered to respond. My PC specs are above even the recommended systems requirements so I doubt it's an issue with my PC. The Bio-ware forums discuss this issue (look for metallic textures) but the recommended fixes didn't work for me.
With a game that has so many problems it's led me to believe that the only thing Atari cares about is making money. They no longer offer phone support (in other words they don't want to be bothered talking with you) and they say they will respond to email in 7-10 days. They didn't in my case. I'm really disappointed in this game and suggest you spend your hard earned dollars elsewhere.
Rating: - Good times
For the most part, all the fun aspects of the game have been said and hold true. My only complaints are the way the game runs. I have well over the minimum req's and a geforce 8800 GT OC 512 video card and the game runs kind of choppy/laggy quite a bit. Also some graphic glitches here and their through out the part of the game I've played so far. But for the price and what you get you can't beat it. I'd have given it 5 stars if I diden't have these small problems. (I haven't tried the latest patches yet though either)
