Talk:Neverwinter Nights

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neverwinter_Nights Ehhh... can we steal stuff off other Wiki's?  --DM Mask 02:56, 18 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, wikipedia is freely licensed so you can steal everything which doesn't have a copyright tag (images mostly) and do with it what you like Zerak-Tul 09:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sweet, will try and De-Wiki it and rewiki it here. They link to all sorts of other assorted stuff in that article as you can see, since 95% of those pages don't/won't/shouldn't exist here.. no point in linking to them. --DM Mask 17:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Canon
I'm not quite understanding what the article means by some parts may not be canon. I thought only the novels and game products (as well as online material) were considered canon? Now, I can understand that NWN has lots of choices, like any CRPG, and can turn out many different ways, but does this mean, aside from various choices and hyped up rules, the basic NWN story is considered canon now? 75.91.37.3 18:19, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

I would certainly like to see Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate etc al considered canon in their basic plotline, perhaps I should invent a new word "shadow canon". The question of the differential outcomes/events can be addressed by leaving the question unanswered unless it is required to be a certain way by other canon. --Slayer of Cliffracers 22:20, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

Time
Based upon the game journal itselt, the game begins in 1372. Of course the drawbacks of the game engine being as they are, all journals begin in 1372. I think that Neverwinter Nights main and Shadows of Udrentide might well happen simotaneously and the Hordes of the Underdark will have happened a few years after both have been completed despite what the journal says.

The Baldur's Gate game article mentions timeframe, so I think that Neverwinter Nights should mention it as well.--Slayer of Cliffracers 22:39, March 31, 2012 (UTC)
