Solid effort with typical Aspyr downside
I have really no idea why the score is so low. This is one solid effort which runs and looks better than the Complete version that was released on GOG years ago. I spent in NWN2 Complete 286 hours and I will never come back to it because Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2 Enhanced Edition is just a superior version. The questionable controls have been fixed. While you have still 3 camera modes, the only mode you should use is strategic mode while changing camera movement to WSAD and checking FREE CAM. With this combo you will have the controls you are used to from, for example, Dragon Age. Now the controls are much tighter and precise. Also, this is not a remater but an enhanced version of the original release. For a project like this it is actually enough to have better AA and much sharper textures. The game look definitely better than the old version as I have both installed and compared. Yes, there are still some texture flickering which they will hopefully fix. Neverwinter Nights 2 is the only oldschool CRPG that got to the quality level of Baldur's Gate 2 and with its great expansions this enhanced collection is a definitive version to play those gems. The only downside is what is actually pretty typical for Aspyr. I just hate how they cannot do a nicely looking and compact UI. I just hate their approach to enhancing UI -> bigger fonts. Yes, small fonts are not good for eyes, but if you make the font bigger and the windows not as big, the original compactness falls apart as now you have to scroll the menus up and down while originally you could see all the menu elements immediately. Also the main menu UI was much nicer in the OG. That is why I rate this enhanced edition 4/5 despite the fact the games are 5/5.
