Some of the most sage bits of wisdom can be found from teachers. Sure, they may not be Power Rangers or actual wizards, but in a world where magic only happens in Disneyland, we take what we can get.

One of those bits of wisdom we've picked up over the years is the essence of growing up: chances, choices and changes. Each time a chance opens up to you, or action (or inaction) leads to a change, both in the world around you and in yourself as a person.

This is also one of the basic tenets of a good role-playing game. The best ones, even when you know you're being shepherded to particular ends, gives you that feeling of accomplishment, of changing your world as a result of your feats. This is what the latest video for Neverwinter Nights 2 wants to impress upon the reader.

While we haven't reached the end of the main campaign ourselves, we're definitely loving the time we spend walking the hallowed halls and conversing with the NWN 2 toolset users who want to make their own games. It's not the prettiest game out now, but Obsidian Entertainment and Atari certainly know how to bring alive that feeling of growing with your character. Enjoy the video.
