NWN was my first exposure to modern PC games and definatly my first online gaming experiance.
My first character on COA was a min/maxed half orc, he was freindly and well spoken, articulate and wise and with intelligance of 8 went to do the puzzlebox after every reset. There was actually a line up outside the guys door after every reset, people spawning at the south gates were so lucky back then.
Then came the elven cleric who proudly boasted she followed no god, and didn't, domains were not enforced. Of course she had plant and earth domains so she could turn the beetles in Nada's (Something I was told about by a freind who played, without me realising the implications of being a cleric). Back then I only knew three quests, Parners, Nada's and some little XP farming thing in the sewers for level 1 to 6 which you could basiclly just run through on a continual basis, the last two had varmin and I could turn them WOOT!. Hells knows how I never got past level 5.
Then came version 3 and I found out about roleplay and forums and all that good stuff.
