The original campaign is the official campaign that was shipped with the original release of Neverwinter Nights. As it was released before the expansion packs were developed, it was for a time the only official campaign, and some still call it "the official campaign" despite the current ambiguity. Through this campaign, the player takes on the character of a hero of Neverwinter, questing to rid the city of the Wailing Death. The campaign is designed to adapt to either single-player or multiplayer, and it is fully functional with or without a Dungeon Master. The designers estimate that it takes 60+ hours to complete.
