Make whatever hero you talk yourself into
Slink through shadows as a half-elven rogue, throw fearsome magic as a gnomish sorcerer, or hold the line as an armor-clad dwarven paladin. Character building follows Dungeons & Dragons rules, with races, classes, feats, skills and magic to mix. You decide the build, then take it through dangerous cities, monster-filled dungeons and uncharted wilderness. Combat runs in real time with pause, so you can stop the chaos, queue orders and feel clever.
A plague, lost artifacts and a very deep hole
The original campaign puts you at the center of intrigue, betrayal and dark magic while a cursed plague ravages Neverwinter, and you search for a cure. Then Shadows of Undrentide sends you after four ancient artifacts from the Silver Marches into the remains of a long-dead magical civilization. Hordes of the Underdark continues that story down into Undermountain against a gathering evil. Three premium modules add over 40 hours more stories on top.
Better with friends and strange persistent worlds
You can play these adventures on your own or with friends, including online co-op and persistent worlds run by the community. A rebuilt multiplayer system makes it easier to find servers and join games. Some worlds run for years with their own rules, roleplay and dungeon masters pulling strings.
Build the dungeon, then run it like a tyrant
Quality-of-life improvements plus shaders, filters and texture tools give model and module makers more room to work. The Dungeon Master Client goes further: you become the storyteller, controlling the creatures and characters your players meet. That is a lot of power for someone whose rogue keeps failing stealth checks.
Good to know before you roll a character?
How long are the included adventures?
Long. You get the original plague-hunting campaign, two expansion packs, and three premium modules with over 40 hours of stories between them, for 100+ hours in total. Community modules and mods add hundreds more once you finish those.
How does combat and character building work?
It is a real-time with pause adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons, so fights keep moving until you pause to give orders. You pick race, class, skills, feats and spells, and can develop into stealthy rogues, heavy paladins, spell-throwing sorcerers and stranger combinations across the campaign and expansions.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Play solo or take the classic adventures into online co-op, or join persistent community worlds through the rebuilt multiplayer system. Some servers have their own themes, rules and dungeon masters running live events.
What can I make myself?
Plenty. The Aurora Toolset lets you build locations, fill them with monsters, items, traps and encounters, and share the result. The Dungeon Master Client lets you run adventures live by controlling the creatures and characters your players meet.
