Best RPG - WRE's E3 2001 Awards
 The winner...

Neverwinter Nights
There's something almost heartwarming about the days when you and some friends could slay dragons, discover treasure, fight armies and wield godly powers. As RPGs have matured, though, they've always ignored that key part of the universe. Neverwinter Nights breaks from the traditional single player world of AD&D, creating an exciting new online realm. The dynamic dungeon master role is a truly unique experience - and one that promises to be a torch-bearer for the genre. Plant evil denizens to thwart your guests! Take control of your creatures! Dynamically change the adventure on a whim! At last, here's your chance to shape an experience unlike any the gaming world has seen. With a simple editor where your most bizarre or nightmarish dungeons can come to life, and a beautiful engine to realize those visions, Neverwinter Nights looks set to take the rich and wholesome elements of an RPG to the online realm in classic fashion. Meanwhile, new spells, monsters and a strong story develop the offline element just as strongly. Neverwinter Nights may just be poised to take the role-playing world to new heights.
