The Complete Edition is great. It does have some issues at times, such as when you install it, sometimes you have to restart your pc just to get it to launch. Other times, it will launch right away but display at 24 fps until you restart once. This game is basically the EE but without the controller support. I just tested multiplayer earlier, and connected to a persistent world no problems. Or rather, minimal issues. You do have to "log in" to multiplayer but it times out after about 20-30 seconds, and from there you can Direct Connect to persistent worlds. There's a list of all major PW's for not only NWN 2 but also NWN 1. It starts with hero. Check it out. Seriously, if you're wondering if you should get this for $20 or the EE for $30... Save yourself $10 unless you really need controller support. I do not. I'm happy with what I already own.

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.

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 :)

If I had to recommend NWN1 or NWN2, I'd recommend NWN1 for a variety of reasons. The healthier modding community. The more stable engine. The better expansion campaigns (the original campaigns of both NWN games are garbage), and the fact that despite NWN1's fairly primitive graphics, it has aged better than NWN2. However, the Mask of the Betrayer campaign for NWN2 is almost enough tip the balance. Mask of the Betrayer is legitimately good, and has some incredible moments of brilliance - HOWEVER, if you're at all familiar with the Forgotten Realms, you'll notice that Obsidian has fumbled basic setting elements (in game, all the Rashemi are light skinned, where in the source material they're dark skinned), and worse, the Spirit Eater mechanic is a massive impediment to enjoying the game. With the Spirit Eater mechanic, you have to feed (by killing) or suppress the Spirit Eater, and there's very little explanation of how that works and which is the best way. If you choose the wrong path (not suppressing) you'll quickly find yourself on the verge of death, thanks to the fact that the more spirits you eat, the faster the meter runs out. When I played through, I cheated to disable the Spirit Eater mechanic. The game was much more enjoyable and required less maintenance of a mechanic that doesn't fit into D&D's rules. Speaking of rules, Obsidian fumbles that as well. I was in Myrkul's Temple in MoB, and ran into ancient vampire monks. My character was a level 24+ Cleric imported from the original campaign. Those ancient vampire monks managed to kill my entire party (save my character) with energy drain, and my character couldn't even hit them fully buffed. A few more things that were not kosher was the fact that the vampires could energy drain when using Flurry of Blows - which is impossible if we're following the rules (vampires can only energy drain on their "slam" attacks, which are separate from the Monk's flurry). With NWN2, you take the good with the bad.
