Main quests are quite enjoyable, but when we start doing side quests it becomes painful. Side quests are showed only as textboxes and usually are really bad. Most of the time it is something like "find a thing or person". This wouldn't be as bad if there was no morality system (each character has personality type, like neutral or chaotic). With morality included those side quests become iritating. Example: My team meets parents and they say that their children went somewhere. They ask if I could search for them (and offer a reward). There are options similiar to those: 1. I will find your children. Poor little kids! 2. For gold I would do anything. 3. If it won't be too dangerous I might save them. So 1st option is good (my devil character will be iritated), 2nd bad (my druid will not like it) and 3rd is neutral (my dwarf will not like it). So pseudo-moral talks. It was terrible. And what I really meant was: I will kill all monsters and visit all places anyway.

NWN2 was, for me, the breaking point in CRPGs. First of all, in terms of gameplay it was a great game. The character customization was inmense. You could choose between plenty of races, skills, classes that could evolve in multiclass and special classes, great selection of items which could be customized as well and more. The combat was fine, nothing too impressive about the graphics and it was a little bit weak on the writting department but overall a very inmersive adventure with great pace and progress and fun missions and quests. You could also have your own castle with its own development and sidequests that would make the game much more interesting. The strongest point of the game though was the community support. Once you finish your campaign the tools to create content were unrivalred. I miss the times of those custom servers where people made their own roleplaying enviorements with the ability to use different sets of rules from other games like AOIAF, import their own models and interface and much more. I don't think we will ever see a game with such support from the community and this large amount of content creators.

this game has so much replay its rediculous. there are several classes, routes to take in the game, companions to befriend, and expansions are games themselves with replay value. if that isnt enough there are mods and fan made adventures and content to plow through. i have played this game since it came out and have baught it many times over. wish they had digital like they do now back in the day. anyways..... get it!

Lets' dispose of the bad right away. NeverWinter Nights 2 is somewhat buggy. It’s been heavily patched, but you'll run into a few glitches and, occasionally, you'll have to reload a save since a character has not spawned; some mechanics feel a bit dated and the camera takes some time getting used to. The main campaign is filled with fantasy clichés. I believe it was intentional, but it lacks a sense of wonder and surprise. Now for the good part. Story and plot unfold progressively: you don’t go from nobody to world savior in one hour. Your progression in power and status is incremental and flows naturally. As threats evolve, as you realize what is happening and how you fit in a much larger story, the scale of the game grows, as well as a sense of danger. The characters you meet are memorable, as they all have depth. Can a tiefling thief find her place in a society that despises her? Can a dwarf balance his commitment to his clan and his vocation as a monk? Do the responsibilities of a druid stop when her masters go insane? Can a fiery, power-hungry wizard be reasoned with? Can a sociopathic ranger play well enough with others? The choices you make do not only define your favorite party members; they have consequences on whether someone is willing to go through hell for you or will betray you at the worst possible time. Demean a friend one too many time, and he might turn against you in the end. While combat is present throughout the game, situations are quite varied, as you explore strange places, rebuild a castle, prove your innocence in court, or act as a go-between between demons locked in a game of power and wits. Every good thing I wrote applies to MotB, which also improves on stability and performance, and takes the story in a darker, fascinating place, where gods battle each other and one’s morality is brutally tested. It really is a gem of an extension. NWN2 is a game I re-install regularly, and always play with renewed enthusiasm. Don’t miss out on it.

Neverwinter Nights 2 is THE best RPG ever seen on PC. No Not only it uses the fantastic 3.5 Edition of the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset, but also it provides players with amazingly written characters and a fantastic story with a very unique twist. It is definitely not your typical "saving the world" story, but I am not saying more. The role-playing elements give players literally neverwinter possibilities. I mean neverending. See? I was trying to make a joke. The game constantly tries to make the time spent wit it as variable as possible - a superb minigame against a stupid bard, a castle management simulation, etc. The allignment system here finally gets its true purpose. You may begin as a neutral good character but you can end as a lawful evil one. There is tons of decisions which then lead to different outcomes with a real weight. Hell, you can even clap your hands with the final boss and side by side kill all your companion which you have been traveling with during the whole game. Insane! In this Complete edition there are also 3 great expansions included. - Mask of the Betrayer - fantastic story and interesting settings - Storm of Zehir - beautiul implementation of the D&D experience with trading and a possibility to end the game even a couple of minutes after the beginning (with a real ending animation and credits) - Mysteries of Westgate - shorter and a more traditional game than previous expansions but still a very enjoyable experience Just buy it and enjoy this holy grail of RPG!
