It was brilliant, and in the words of Breedan from the Washington Post, including the toolset “was the smartest thing BioWare did.' The Aurora Toolset had been lauded as the best thing BioWare did. The Aurora Engine was a hit and BioWare had changed the landscape of gaming for gamers across the world. My devotion to the game was strong, and I kept returning to the Forgotten Realms, despite the releases of other newer games. Although there were minor issues with the game, it was a welcomed step in to the new age of gaming. When Neverwinter II was released by Obsidian, it was a step into a new era of gaming.
Over time, other games began to come out and I found other realms to explore, but there was nothing quite like it. Back in 2002, and for several years after, I played Neverwinter righteously and became an avid member of the online community, playing on servers and getting in to the story of The Forgotten Realms.
