+Ann Night I liked to imagine my character falling through storm clouds onto Toril as their body and soul take shape and heart begins to beat, set to this music.
I just bought it (yes in 2022), first time in my case. I regret that I've waited so long, this game is definitely a masterpiece when current games are so boring and haven't any identity
If any game company ever has the balls to remake this they should literally only update graphics add voices and character pics and bring back a multiplayer availability.
So happy to hear people are still enjoying it. It often gets overshadowed by Baldur's Gate. NWN was my first western RPG & forever influenced what I look for in games.
@@andrew_kay the OC wasn't impressive but that was never the point. The community content was and much of that is outstanding, and some of the later-created modules, to say nothing of the multiplayer which has had some of the best rp I've ever found. If you've only dealt with the Wailing Death, you have only scratched the surface of NWN.
I want to cry when I hear this. Can't believe how many memories just a few notes of a song can bring flooding back. I miss those days. I miss dragon coast.
Copy the original music file(called either mus_themenwn or mus_thememain), save it to your desktop and rename it mus_x2theme.bmu. Go to the NWN music folder, drop it in and choose to replace or overwrite. Voila! Let me know if you have any questions.

Me too! Started playing in elementary school after watching my dad play. I fell in love with Aribeth; she was just the most beautiful and graceful character I had ever seen. :')
I played this game for years (online). And also a lot offline. This is among the games i hold deep within my heart. It gave me so much. I love you NWN.
The ultimate D&D adventure game! :) Nostalgia overflood when listening to these songs, Jeremy Soule did a fantastic job capturing the ''spirit'' of the game while making the soundtracks.
We, true warriors and wizards, will remember you, Neverwinter. You never will frozen in minds of us, like ice never takes your rivers. We will remember. Long life to you my friends... but now I must go to the long journey... we will see each other during Nights, my friends... Neverwinter Nights...
I remember spendind hours creating characters listening to this theme and with them weird portraits. Probably spent more time in the character creation than in the game proper.

@@Citizen052 I concur. Baldur's Gate series had the best RPG atmosphere, experience and writing of them all. Likewise the music, art design and everything just made it so special and unmatched. I really hope they can get somewhat close. Pillars of Eternity tried to capture that Infinity Engine style art-style and vibe - but failed terribly in the character, writing, story, world and settings' department. It's a shame. So I really hope Larian can capture the atmosphere and vibe of the classic BG games.
A couple of my favorite quotes from the game are " I'm gonna rip your head off and make it my puppet!" And "Not even a dent... this weapon is USELESS!"
Don't need em. Grab a mate and rip it up. Not too long ago the childhood friend i used to play this with and I, crushed this game together. And loved it every bit as much as when we were kids.
Jeremy Soule is a master of his art. Anyone who doesn't own at least some of his work is really missing out. And +1 for NWN1 YEARS of great memories and fun stuff. :)
Я ведь совершенно случайно познакомился с этим шедевром. Заходил как то в гости к другу, попросил у него пару дисков с играми, и одной из игр была именно Невервинтер найтс. Тогда я был слишком молод, чтобы понять, что я нашел лучшую рпг игру. Но спустя годы понял это. Спасибо тебе мой друг;)
I remember when I launched NWN1 for the very first time. I remember sitting there, basking in this music while generating my character, and just relishing the endless possibilities that lay before me. Good times, my friends. Good times.
Suddenly, I'm fifteen years old again and I'm playing somewhere on a zombie survival server on the RP tab, or I'm curing Neverwinter of the Plague. It's hard to believe it's been almost seven years since then for me, when I shut my eyes to this, I can still remember.
I missed NWN as a kid but thanks to Jeremy Soul and his work on Morrowind, playing NWN felt like discovering a favorite game from my childhood that i never played.
That music is so iconic to me I bought a cracked version of this game back in summer 2002 in Kuwait when I was deployed there. Loved the game so much I bought the legit versions, as well as the expansions that followed.
Playing old games like this makes me sad... I wish Bioware could return to the old days of making amazing games. Dragon Age Origins was the last true masterpiece they released.
DA:O is faaaaaaarrrrr from being a masterpiece, and lacks a lot of things to come close to games like Baldur's gate, Neverwinter Nights, or even Icewind Dale.
***** Icewind Dale is amazing. Sorry you don't like it for whatever reason but it was a fantastic game (better combat and level design than all of the others, even if there were no interesting characters).
hit me right in the nostalgia. First video games I ever played were Baldurs gate, Icewind dale, dungeon siege and Nox. By the time I got this game it blew my mind.
We, true warriors and wizards, will remember you Neverwinter. You never will frozen in minds of us, like ice never take you rivers. We will remember. Long live to you my friends... but now I must go to the long journey... we will see in Nights my friends... Neverwinter Nights...
The Nostalgia I get from thiese old tracks, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter nights and Planescape.. Its so strong its almost painful. Jeremy Soule is a god! Spread the word of his coming!
Jeremy Soule...made the soundtrack for this, Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim, Guild Wars, KOTOR....the supreme master of creating a perfect atmosphere for an RPG game
As much as I love all the new recent RPGs, this one track brings back so many strong memories and emotions....feels like I'm dreaming of a place I can never return to.
Yeah, I know that, but I'm referring to the orchestration, phrasing, and instrumentation chosen for this piece. Remarkably similar to what was used in Oblivion.
The true GOAT of this game was the AURORA TOOLSET, there is NOT A SINGLE COMPANY, in the world who would giv that freedom and players to make their own contentagain like that.
This was THE best game I ever played, both as a single player and a multi-player game. Nothing is better than role playing on a persistent player made world, and developing a story for you hero.
NWN was my first introduction to DnD and it was a hell of a fun time. Great story wonderful writing and the greatest music game composer of all time. thank you for these tears of nostalgia
Neverwinter Nights series is a good example of the transitional, experimental phase between older, "book-like" RPG's like Baldur's Gate and new, more "cinematic" and overly multiplayer-oriented titles. Deeply flawed but enjoyable nontheless, especially for those that tinkered with editor to deliver user-made content.... Also Deekin
Baldur's Gate is highly overrated. Neverwinter Nights had a deep, traditional fantasy outlook and was richly atmospheric. BG2 was just a united states of sidequests, jumbled together randomly.
I remember first borrowing this game from a friend, living in my granmas town. A small town in the middle of Ukraine with almost no internet connection in the entire town during the cold harsh winter, with almost nothing seaming fun or eventful this game me a small glimmer of hope lol.. and BAM in in California now, talk about inspirational music and gameplay lol. Thank you Mr. Soule
Сейчас, прошло 5 лет с момента ,когда я вкусил весь сок ,всю красоту этой музыки...я постарел.. мне грустно, я одинок.. Но что у меня есть..у меня только эта музыка,топор в руках и отчаяние... Я уже иду
I played this game when I was 15 years old. I still look back on it as one of the greatest RPG games ever made. This is one of the very few games that actually entirely sucked me in.
I had watched my father play this game, as I had watched him play Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. I will never forget the time we spent together, figuring out quests and puzzles. Its too bad that I can't hear this theme now, since Hordes of the Underdark is the last expansion, and that BioWare has released v1.69, the last and very final patch to Neverwinter Nights. But this theme will always give me tears and goosebumps of nostalgia. Thank you for this great game, BioWare!
+Steve No be fair, DA:O was a damn good game, not quite to the epic score of Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale or even this game (IMO) but was still engaging and entertaining RPG where you could (almost) be who you wanted to be... say... unlike now days where a certain post apocalyptical "RPG" is the benchmark :\
+CCODEZ I know, but I do miss the classes and races from the d&d based games a lot. Also, it may be just nostalgia, but the musical scores for nwn's base game and hotu were impeccable.
+Steve NWN has much more gameplay content (though kind of hard to enjoy now due to its clunkiness), DA:O has actual characters and much more story (and a far more interactive plot too). Between the two I'll take DA:O any day of the week, NWN is a linear experience with no emotional connection and nothing going for it but combat really. Like a more linear Baldur's Gate but with much better gameplay/far more gameplay content. Even DA:O is a lot more complex than today's RPGs like hack and slash Witcher with its severe lack of actual role-playing, or its latest successor Inquisition which has no skills system (though still has the interactivity). If you want the best of both worlds then that would be Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer. Or Planescape: Torment though it lacks the race choice and only has three classes, although I'm sure you know this already, and the story is worth those sacrifices. These two plus Fallout 2 are the real benchmark RPGs.
Man, if all you know about NWN is the single player experience you SEVERELY missed out. the multiplayer/roleplay community was unique and incredible. To this day the only RPG where people actually roleplayed because everyone took it seriously (in years of playing never once ran across a troll), on persistent world servers with evolving story lines thanks to DM clients. I do agree that the single player experience wasn't the best. But multiplayer.. omg
Andreas Michael Design Yeah, I do know what the MP is like. It's still played to this day, as is NWN 2 MP. Not sure how good the community is though but it's so separate from the rest of the gaming industry, I imagine they still take it seriously.
The best game I've ever played, nothing comes anywhere near it for me. Hearing this theme song brings up years of roleplaying with people all around the world. I'm gonna go cry now
I remember the days of playing this without sound as a kid. I had a computer that simply had no sound peripherals, not even in the monitor. I didn't even know this had sound. Then a couple of years after that, we had speakers. I launched Neverwinter Nights as I normally did, and then I heard this. I hear this now and I feel a tear in my eye remembering that moment. I am still yet to beat this game, I only got to Chapter 2, and the Diamond Edition has sooo much content! Great game and company!
still playing the game,it will never die, to complex, like this great piece of music!! it only should have lasted longer,like the game. thanky for sharing!!

virtual hug bro
Best character creation music in the history of gaming. I was heartbroken when they changed it in HotU.
Agreed. When I reinstall the game for my yearly play through I intentionally not install Hotud. Just so I can listen to the music
Oh man I know how you feel, this was my favorite theme out of the entire game and all its expansions,
There's a way to change it back to this... I'll ask my dad what it was since I don't remember.

I played this game when I was 15 years old. I still look back on it as one of the greatest RPG games ever made. This is one of the very few games that actually entirely sucked me in.
such an amazing game i played it so much better than NWN2
I had watched my father play this game, as I had watched him play Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. I will never forget the time we spent together, figuring out quests and puzzles. Its too bad that I can't hear this theme now, since Hordes of the Underdark is the last expansion, and that BioWare has released v1.69, the last and very final patch to Neverwinter Nights. But this theme will always give me tears and goosebumps of nostalgia. Thank you for this great game, BioWare!
can't believe rpgs like this have been replaced with ones like dragon age: origins
+Steve No be fair, DA:O was a damn good game, not quite to the epic score of Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale or even this game (IMO) but was still engaging and entertaining RPG where you could (almost) be who you wanted to be... say... unlike now days where a certain post apocalyptical "RPG" is the benchmark :\
+CCODEZ I know, but I do miss the classes and races from the d&d based games a lot. Also, it may be just nostalgia, but the musical scores for nwn's base game and hotu were impeccable.
+Steve NWN has much more gameplay content (though kind of hard to enjoy now due to its clunkiness), DA:O has actual characters and much more story (and a far more interactive plot too). Between the two I'll take DA:O any day of the week, NWN is a linear experience with no emotional connection and nothing going for it but combat really. Like a more linear Baldur's Gate but with much better gameplay/far more gameplay content.
Even DA:O is a lot more complex than today's RPGs like hack and slash Witcher with its severe lack of actual role-playing, or its latest successor Inquisition which has no skills system (though still has the interactivity).
If you want the best of both worlds then that would be Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer. Or Planescape: Torment though it lacks the race choice and only has three classes, although I'm sure you know this already, and the story is worth those sacrifices. These two plus Fallout 2 are the real benchmark RPGs.
Man, if all you know about NWN is the single player experience you SEVERELY missed out. the multiplayer/roleplay community was unique and incredible. To this day the only RPG where people actually roleplayed because everyone took it seriously (in years of playing never once ran across a troll), on persistent world servers with evolving story lines thanks to DM clients.
I do agree that the single player experience wasn't the best. But multiplayer.. omg
Andreas Michael Design Yeah, I do know what the MP is like. It's still played to this day, as is NWN 2 MP. Not sure how good the community is though but it's so separate from the rest of the gaming industry, I imagine they still take it seriously.
The best game I've ever played, nothing comes anywhere near it for me. Hearing this theme song brings up years of roleplaying with people all around the world. I'm gonna go cry now
this game never die
Your profile picture will always get my attention idk why. You can have the bad guy s face for real in a DnD game
what an absolute masterpiece the soundtrack and the entirety of the game is
This brings so many memories... Jeremy Soule never disappoints
Jeremy Soul - genius!
I remember the days of playing this without sound as a kid. I had a computer that simply had no sound peripherals, not even in the monitor. I didn't even know this had sound. Then a couple of years after that, we had speakers. I launched Neverwinter Nights as I normally did, and then I heard this. I hear this now and I feel a tear in my eye remembering that moment. I am still yet to beat this game, I only got to Chapter 2, and the Diamond Edition has sooo much content! Great game and company!
I was sad to end this game ... old games have a twist like treasure at the bottom
still playing the game,it will never die, to complex, like this great piece of music!! it only should have lasted longer,like the game. thanky for sharing!!
