My Rating System

I created a system for rating NWN2 modules which I have played. It involves the five areas that mean the most to me. It also adds a weight factor to each area, since some aspects are more important than others for me. Here are the areas:

  1. Story (plot holds my attention, NPC/companion interaction, etc.)
  2. Replayablility (enjoyed it and would play again)
  3. Strategic Combat (challenging, makes me think)
  4. Atmosphere (area design, music/sounds, scripting, etc.)
  5. Polish (bugs, grammer, spelling, etc.)

I am scoring each area with a 1-5 vote:

  1. didn't like it
  2. weak
  3. OK
  4. Good
  5. Excellent

The vote for each area is multiplied by the following weight factors: 6x (story), 4x (replayable), 4x (combat), 4x (atmosphere), and 2x (polish).

Here are my current scores (and their vault equivalent):

  1. Tragedy in Tragidor (76/100) (9 on vault)
  2. Prophecy of Aracas (56/100) (7.5 on vault)
  3. PoRR (50/100) (7.5 on vault)
  4. From Within (40/100) (7 on vault)
  5. Willowbow (46/100) (7 on vault)
  6. Avendale (26/100) (5 on vault)

For comparison, I have the NWN2 OC at (66/100), Baldur's Gate (92/100), and Icewind Dale (94/100).
