Neverwinter Online in 2024: Return to Faerun
Channel: Muglurk
Date: 2024-03-12

Ayup fellas, taking a look at a game that probably has a lot of sciatica ridden CRPG boomers inches away from an aneurysm every time they think about it's existence and see it as a foul curse on the Dungeons & Dragons name. 

What do you think about Neverwinter Online? do you think it'd be better off as a single player game? Should Embracer just continue to milk the D&D license until poor Cryptic can't take it anymore? Think I'm an idiot and have shit tier opinions about Secret World Legends? let me know in the comments below! I'll probably agree. Don't listen to this Muglurk guy, he's a bozo.

Neverwinter Online Steam Description
Neverwinter is a free, action MMORPG based on the acclaimed Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game. Epic stories, action combat and classic roleplaying await those heroes courageous enough to enter the fantastic world of Neverwinter!
