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.
