WHAT IS NEVERWINTER?
Neverwinter is a MMORPG based on the popular Dungeons & Dragons. Developed by Cryptic Studios and launched in 2013, this game is set in Forgotten Realms, an iconic D&D setting. Here, players are transported to the legendary city of Neverwinter where they take on the role of a hero drawn into a myriad of tasks—completing missions, fighting monsters, exploring dungeons, and interacting with other players as well as Non-Player Characters or NPCs.
Players have the option to select from one of eight classes, like a rogue or wizard. You can customize your character’s appearance, race and class. Despite similarities to other MMORPGs, Neverwinter is uniquely characterized by its robust, story-driven gameplay and action-oriented combat system reminiscent of hack-and-slash RPGs.
HOW IT WORKS/HOW TO START
To get started with Neverwinter, you must first download and install the game from the official site or through a platform like Steam. After launching the game, you’ll create an account, select a server, and design your character. Your character’s class and race can affect your gameplay experience, so it might be worth researching or experimenting with the different classes and races available.
Once your character is ready, you’re thrown into a tutorial mission to familiarize yourself with the controls and basic mechanics of the game. Aim, attack, dodge, move, and interact with the world primarily using your mouse and keyboard.
Your first couple of hours in the game will be largely story-driven. You’ll be introduced to NPCs, who will guide you through a series of quests and introduce you to the context of the game world. Each quest grants experience points that level up your character, unlocks new abilities and skills, and rewards you with gold or items.
CE QU'IL FAUT POUR JOUER
To enjoy Neverwinter, you will need a device with an internet connection capable of supporting the game’s system requirements. Computers or consoles like Xbox One and PlayStation 4 work well for this. Additionally, a headset may be useful for communication during group missions or dungeons. Further, a good gaming mouse/keyboard or a controller can significantly enhance your gaming experience.
CONSEILS POUR LES DÉBUTANTS
1. Follow Your Sparkle Trail: The sparkle trail guides you to your next objective, so make sure to follow it if you ever feel lost.
2. Learn to Dodge: Dodging enemy attacks is crucial. Each class has a unique way of doing this, so familiarize yourself with your class’s dodge scheme.
3. Don’t Rush the Levels: Take your time and enjoy the game’s storyline and quests to the fullest. Rushing through levels can leave you ill-prepared for challenges ahead.
4. Join a Guild: Guilds let you team up with other players, making it easier to tackle harder quests and dungeons.
5. Upgrade Your Gear: Pay attention to the gear you collect. Upgrading weapons and armor can greatly improve your power in battle.
