Neverwinter Nights vs Wasteland 1: The Original Classic
Neverwinter Nights
Neverwinter Nights is one of the most popular adventure RPGs of all time. The game is unfortunately quite old and the aging game engine is very noticable in today's PC rigs. That said, the game is still as great as it was before. Granted that there are some parts that they could have improved... or should I say removed, such as the grindfest at the start of the base game's campaign, all of these little downsides are well compensated with the game's brilliant Hordes of the Underdark expansion campaign as well as the mind-blowing amount of player-made mods, especially those adventure modules, which drastically expanded the lifespan of the game.Neverwinter Nights is the sort of timeless games that you can enjoy even after the world has long moved on to other better games. With mods, the game will definitely stick around for years to come.
Wasteland 1: The Original Classic
Wasteland 1: The Original Classic is the father of modern post-apocalyptic RPGs and rightfully so. Set in the year 2087 after an all-out nucler war, the game lays out the precedence for games like the very first Fallout game. In fact, from the game itself, you can see some of the similarities. That said, Wasteland 1 is a lot more old-school than Fallout 1 and hence, there are plenty more undesirable aspects, bugs and glitches that may make anyone albeit a hardcore fan to throw up their hands in despair.Nevertheless, Wasteland 1 is still a classic in many ways. It is possibly among the first games with a consequence-driven reactive world, for instance, and it has a party-based system allowing you to recruit people to help you on your quest to find out what's threatening the very survival of the remnants of humanity aside from the usual roving mutants and raiders.
Despite the novelty, we honestly wouldn't recommend Wasteland 1 to anyone who has not played the game before when it was first released... back when games were still primarily text-based. Instead, if you'd like to experience a much better and advanced version of Wasteland 1, you should get Wasteland 2.
