Actually I was speaking bollocks, I never even bothered get out of Neverwinter :D
But, what I am saying is, like Conan (which was great, but didn't live up to the originals), and Dune (same), and Epesode 1 (there is actually some good sourse material in there) and most of the james bond movies, it is the presintation which is key. That you can get a way with a lot as long as you have good presintation. Just because NWN OC had a 'meh' story which was covered by poor presintation making it 'zzzZZZzzz' doesn't mean it couldn't make a good movie with some proper direction.
