Better then NWN in all aspects,hearld to an new era

Neverwinter Nights 2 best game ever

The PROS -Not 2 but 4 campaigns, 2 of which are standalone campaigns -The Mask of the Betrayer Expansion is made of high quality writing (Think Plancescape Torment) -Lots of Class n' Crunch Choice, you have tons of options for multiclassing -Import/Export system for you Chars, can play the same character on all campaigns! -Large variety of enemies, I don't say this lightly, I really mean that, like too many... -Crafting system, that covers most items ("similar" to the pen & paper) -A CRPG (Baldur's Gate) Style combat system, with multiple camera angle options -Can Co-op all of the Campaigns with buds! -Mod Modules to play around with -Well written character companion moments (MASKOFBETRAYER BUY IT JESSUS WHY YOU WAIT, DO IT UMUGUD) -I could go on, you see my point so far I'm sure The CONS -Optimization has sometimes been an issue with this game, some areas have really bad framedrops (Minor Problem) -The Animations can seem very clunky or even out of sync sometimes, it doesn't always detract from immersion, unless of course you require PURE immersion /W3 animation quality (Minor Problem) -The first Campaign can be construted up to being mediocre and simply going through the motions, the first campaign didn't really grip me, I beat it, but honestly I didn't have anything else to do with my time back then, the expansions more than make up for it, and the original did get much better midway/towards the end (Medium Problem) -The Co-op requires a third party system now to connect, not the worst but still a slight hassle (Minor Problem) -The physical look of many of the Armors (especially in the first act,) look realetivly the same, it's not terrible, just feels like I'm wearing the same Mail vest over an over sometimes. But honestly a minor gripe, the starter armor do happen to look really cool though (Minor Problem) All in all a 4.5/5 in terms of lots of quantity & good quality, it is an excellent buy for 20 USD!

Simply put 5/5. Great setting, got charm, got atmosphere, got better with expansions. One can only hope for NWN3 sometime in the future.

I have played Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 and other crpgs so I do enjoy the genre. The number one issue with this game is how terrible the control scheme is. It is absolutely abysmal trying to deal with the camera while also moving you character. I have attempted multiple times to boot this game up and can't stomach playing for long because of it. I have changed the controls and made adjustments but it is still just horrid. The other issue for me is the bugginess and performance. With some fan patches it is better but still not ideal which for some people is a big turn off. The jank is too much for me and thus I can't recommend it.
