Hey - new forum member, here.
I have a YouTube channel, with the same name as my profile. You can find me with a search. I reviewed the games, and am loving them. Though, getting used to the joystick inputs in Neverwinter and the frame switching using the shoulder buttons could use a little tutorial video -- something showing live what you're doing and how to do it.
I will be streaming a playthrough of Shadows of Undrentide, next year - I'm having such a nostalgia blast with Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights.
Great versions.
My one nitpick might be the low-res interstitial videos as chapter introductions; but I imagine that's a lack of support on the EA side of things to provide the original video files -- or perhaps they don't exist anymore at all.
A good example would be the intro slide show for the Neverwinter Nights vanilla campaign -- it's muddy, and the upscaling to the Switch looks a little garbled. Luckily, the sound has been enhanced as well -- and when I heard 'THE FROZEN NORTH -- ' I tell you I was brought instantly back to the night I got off work, and installed Neverwinter Nights, and created a character using the actual 3.0 rules.
Good times!
This was just to let folks know that I've got a video review of the game up, I'm not posting links. Check me out if you're interested.
I also do a full character generation over there. I think I'll make it a series of helpful tutorials for Switch owners.
Happy Holidays, everyone!

I'm just a massive fan of Neverwinter Nights AND The Undrentide Modules (Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark) AND of the PWs that came after -- I'll be doing a full playthrough next year on Twitch of both Shadows and Hordes. I'm not throwing up links, because I respect this as a fan forum, but I wanted everyone to get a chance to see the games in motion and all.
Thanks for the reply!
