If I were to make a NeverwinterNights scenario, would anyone play it?(Those that could)

Of what? A Spiderweb game?

Sure, I'd give it a try if it was any good. However, I doubt this topic will remain alive very long...

Firstly, there are no scenarios for Neverwinter Nights. They are called modules.

Secondly, the idea sounds great, but the odds of someone actually going through with it are astronomical. If you really are intent on this, I would suggest something small, like Nethergate.

Thirdly, I'm not sure whether this would be considered copyright infringement or not.

Wait, for Neverwinter Nights itself or BoX?

If BoX, I would try it.

I have a feeling that if it was for BoX/BoA, the odds of it being completed would be even lower...

If you mean remaking Exile/Avernum as a NeverwinterNights mod, Jeff would never let you do it.

If you mean a mod set in Exile/Avernum universe, Jeff might still object, you'll have to ask him.

If you are just planning to make a random mod and asking about interest here, I still wouldn't play it, because I don't have Neverwinter Nights.

Is Wikipedia the new Google?

And what about all other online encyclopedias? They might not have random computer games, but when talking about historical events, or scientific subjects, I'd trust editors of Britannica more than I'd trust a bunch of anonimous people online, especially when Wikipedia can be edited by any random passerby.

Got that right. Once, when I was younger and a whole lot less wiser(I was 9, okay?), I went around every piece of Star Wars related material I could find and replaced it with this simple message: **** STAR WARS!!!!!

I knew that. The point I was trying to make is that many people would not know what Neverwinter Nights is.

Well, yes. That's why I wouldn't reference Wikipedia when writing a paper (although I generally wouldn't reference Britannica either). Wikipedia's still a pretty damned good source of pop culture trivia. :P

Not useful, but possibly funny for a second. It would be better if there were more articles.

Which Encyclopedia is better? It's not all that clear.

Here's my take on it:

quote:
In many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer Eastern Rim of the Galaxy, the Hitch Hiker's Guide has already supplanted the great Encyclopaedia Galactica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects.

First, it is slightly cheaper; and second, it has the words Don't Panic inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.
:P

That's why I prefer Google. That way I at least know who wrote the material I am reading and can figure out their bias.

As for Nature's study, I assume that they checked scientific articles, which are Wikipedia's strength. (I assume few people would try to use a page about Theory of Relativity as the soapbox for their political views.) If Nature looked at articles on history and current events, I suspect results would be quite different.

Correct. And even so, Britannica wrote a fairly detailed response pointing out flaws in the study. For one thing, most of the "errors" in Britannica articles weren't errors at all, just differences of opinion. For another, there was a general consensus that Britannica's articles tended to be better structured and easier to understand. About 30 of Wikipedia's articles were sent back because they were so poorly structured as to be unreviewable -- those articles didn't count toward Wikipedia's error count.

You'd be surprised.

I do have to say that I find reading discussions entertaining regardless of subject matter. It is unfortunate that Wikipedia is edited by the most passionate and therefore least reliable people conversant with any particular subject.

Except pure math. And even then, it can get ugly. Newton's notation or Leibniz's? The latter may have won all the battles in the last few centuries, but Wikipedia can't exclude that NPOV Newtonian minority!
