That’s Neverwinter Nights for the acronym impared. And it’s very nice indeed… I’ve tried out the tech beta on two machines so far, a three year old 15″ G4 powerbook and a much newer dual-800 MHz G4 tower machine.
\n
\nIt’ll run on the powerbook, but it’s not very happy about it… I’m kind of surprised that it runs at all, seeing as how the p’book has the stock ATY RageM3 8MB video subsystem and the game specs on macgamefiles.com<\/a> say it needs a 32MB Radeon\/GeForce 2MX or better. Bumping all the video options down to the minimum lets it go at a playable frame rate, but it’s not terribly pretty.<\/p>\n

On the big tower Mac, it’s gorgeous. It’s decked out with a 64MB GeForce 3 card and the 21″ cinema display. I put it into full screen mode and it runs like a dream, even with all of the textures and graphics options cranked up to 11.<\/p>\n

As far as the plot and playability of the game itself<\/a> goes, it seems to be a faithful copy of the PC edition, so if you like that, you’ll like this. I’m a bit bummed that the Mac edition doesn’t include the module building toolset, but if I really get the itch to develop something along those lines I should be able to do so with my Fiancee’s old PC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
