Description Alexander Jenisch 2003-03-21 14:46:09 UTC
Neverwinter Nights is a Singel- & Multiplayer-RPG based on the D&D (3rd edition) core rules and situated in the forgotten realms. It got a great modder-community and much potential.

*The Neverwinter Nights Linux Client Public Beta is now open. The Linux Forum can be used to discuss the Linux Client, however do not post bugs in that forum. To report bugs, send a detailed bug description to nwlinux@bioware.com. 

*We will be releasing updated Beta versions with fixes - check back often.

*Server browsing and chat are disabled in Beta 1 and will be available in the next Beta release.

Issues:
0) Commercial
1) No demo-beta available
2) The game itself needs some 3rd party way to get the game data installed
3) Won't work on non nvidia 
4) __REALLY__ Beta

Even if I make now an ebuild of the 3rd party installer you'd find that in package.mask 'till got in a stabler shape.

I've been working on installing this since it's release. Simple fact... NRFPT (not ready for prime time).
