Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition is a D&D style RPG by Bioware's Beamdog. For a game now 22 years old, an update announcement may seem a little far fetched, but that's why we're here. Courtesy of the bustling modding community still surrounding the game today, Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition has just seen a massive patch.

It's thanks to Bioware's initial encouragement of player-made content, in the form of a modding toolset that shipped with the game, which has helped keep the modding community thriving to this day. With it, some of the devs over at Beamdog have gotten together and pushed out a patch. A free one, mind, made by "unpaid software engineers from the NWN community" out of the kindness of their hearts. 

"This patch was made entirely by community members: Done entirely for personal enjoyment, out of good will and with copious amounts of adhesive."

Even if you're not into D&D, you'll find something to love on our list of the best RPG games.
