Let's start with the strength of this game: what works in NWN2 is the immersion. I felt really taken by the plot, I cared about the characters, the D&D setting felt believable, even in its clichés. The idea of managing your fortress and your army has been reused in Pillars of Eternity, Dragon Age Inquisition and Pathfinder Kingmaker. Your choices during the game will affect wether your companions will stay loyal to you or not, what factions will you support and how much damage will you inflict upon the NPCs around you. Defending myself during a trial, being diplomatic to lizardfolk, supporting a dragon against fire giants and then convincing said dragon not to eat me, encountering trapped devils and being besieged by vampires were all memorable moments to me. Of course, NWN2 isn't without flaws - the cutscenes are debatable by today's standards, and I would have wished for more choices and consequences, for instance in the matter of divinities. Still, NEverwinter Nights 2 is a game I'm in love with, and I was happy to replay one of the classics of my teenage period on GOG.

I played it before and fell in love with this game's chilly, suspense-ridden aesthetics and different approach to reinvent DnD 3.5. while the OC isn't the best campaign in terms of narrative and it lacks a bit in terms of gameplay and progression, the other modules like MotB and SoZ really make up for that. In general there is beautiful soundtrack, the depth of characters and their interactions and constellations between each other in these plots as well as tons of classes and other RPG choices in terms of dialogues, alignment, voicesets to choose from and a really well-done toolset make it a worthy successor of games like BG2. this version also includes the MoW module which was missing from the platinum or deluxe edition first, I think. Also I found many interesting modules to play on NWVault and Neverwinter Nexus. some came even close to quality for what they have as main modules. QA could have been better, but since years there is an official final patch available and alternatively mods for bugfixing and what not. so it's really playable. Camera isn't really an issue, like many claim, it's just that you have many different camera modes to choose from that you can adjust properly within in 2 minutes and it's all good. anyways, one of my favorite games despite a few rough edges, still deserves full five stars imo because I couldn't stop playing otherwise.

GoG will hide them from you if you download the game before saving your cd keys as if they have been 'used'. Seems the only way to get them is then to email support. I hope they fix this in the future. I only downloaded this to play with friends and this blockade makes me never want to use the GoG platform again.

I remember when I could barely play this game on my old single core PC. The game has some bugs even today, just nothing that will stop you from enjoying it, and on my quad core system, it runs smoothly. The adventure is always exciting, and the expansions were fun. I miss games like this.

Despite its age and the outdated graphics, this game is still awesome: the story is very good and the voice acting as well as the characters are superb. I've played NWN2 many times right after its initial realease and I'm glad I decided to do it again, after 15 years :)
