Due my age this is like BG for me. I can't imagine how many hours I've spend in this game from almost 10 years. Still in love with it.

FOR CONTEXT: I never played the game when it was new, or indeed ANY RPG's of this make or model. I believe the game is very good for its day, so if you are into this style and era, then I DO recommend it. However if you're getting into older RPG's I would say this is not an ideal entry point. The camera is frustrating, the story is now cliche, characters archetype, but again, from the era it's a nice example, but since then, we've come along way. Graphics of course have aged, but that didn't bother me, characters and story are what it's about and I've seen better since. You can craft weapons and magic, there are several campaigns, and MODS, oh my so many MODS. I only tried the one where people made the Baldur's Gate in Neverwinter Nights 2... very very impressive, but given that I had just played Baldur's Gate a few months ago, I actually didn't see the point... but that's just me. In summary, yes I said only 2 stars, but keep in mind, if you already know what this game is about (era and style) than it is very good, but if you are trying 'new' things as I was, I would say 'avoid'. MODS give unlimted hours of joy.

My childhood is here, it was a time where i had no internet and all i could do is play this game, maybe it has bugs and glitches but i love this so much.

WHY isn't this available for Mac? I'm well aware I'm just a die-hard fan without much programming knowledge; but the ache in my soul is increasing. Due to their awesomeness I've used Macs now for about two years. It rarely inconveniences me to this degree: I'd gladly pay your ransom fees, if it could be ported? Lets make an exchange, you and I: My cash, for your (I assume?) hard work porting this master piece to my 5K Mac-sterpiece!!!!!

NWN 2 is the best in terms of gameplay, story and design when you compare it to the others with the same name (including the boring action-adventure MMO). The story is immersive, the dice-rolls aren't rigged like in NWN2, and it is flagrant that Bioware didn't touch this one, it is waaaay better than NWN1. They focused more on the gameplay rather than the graphics like Bioware does... end result? A great game that has tons of modding/story telling possibilities and hundreds of hours of game use (play and designing).
