Somewhere, we're led to believe, an adherence to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons serves as the foundation for all this, though that connection is a notable loose one. Neverwinter's focus on action lacks the novelty it once commanded in the days before WildStar and Elder Scrolls Online stomped onto the scene, but few MMOGs do such a good job of capturing the experience of clobbering baddies with sharp, shiny blades.
My great weapon fighter, newly shrunk to dwarven size, swung his blade with a flick of the left mouse button and exploded in a frenzy at a touch of the tab key. Seconds in, I could see that Neverwinter's combat had retained its sense of power and explosive immediacy. Neverwinter's combat still excels all these months later, and the time since launch has given it a semblance of an endgame it previous lacked. And against all expectations, I embraced it, if only for a little while. No, after an absence of several months, it was the opportunity to use the race-changing feature to transform my humdrum human great weapon fighter into a gloriously-bearded dwarf that sent me back into the arms of developer Cryptic's Dungeons & Dragons online role-playing game. It wasn't the promise of new lands to explore to dragons to slay that brought me back to Neverwinter it wasn't even (at first) the opportunity to try out new classes.
