I was really enjoying the game until the start of Act II when a broken cutscene left me stuck in an utterly inactive quarter of the main city with no chance of doing anything at all. I was already about 30 hours in the game, I still had at least three more companions to recruit and about two thirds of the game to play. Also, I have three DLC's I haven't even started. I first bought this game in physical form back in the day, but that version broke about 10 hours in. Can we consider this progress, then? I'd say we can't; after all, I only bought this to be finally able to play I game I had few but fond memories of. I'm so bitterly disapppointed! Playing this game just wasn't in the cards for me. I'm sure if it weren't broken it would be well worth the time and money, but it ust doesn't work.

I honestly don't understand what people enjoy about Neverwinter Nights 2. The main campaign is so sub-par that it’s a real struggle to stay invested. The AI in this game is maddening. Spellcasters often stop casting spells, even when you've specifically set their behavior to do so. They’ll mindlessly wander into combat—when they manage to find a path, but more on that later—and start attacking enemy mobs. If you switch to control that spellcaster, your other companions will either continue fighting whatever NPC they were engaged with, or they'll just stop and walk towards your currently selected character, often triggering attacks of opportunity, only for you to issue another spell command. There’s a strategy mode in this game, and many players recommend it as the best way to play. However, it’s painfully obvious that this wasn’t the intended approach by the developers, so you end up struggling to make sense of the combat mechanics. Now, let’s talk about the companions who simply stop following you and stand still midway through your journey. You can easily find yourself two men short, and when you check the map, there they are—two to three minutes away from you—because their AI just stopped working. If you switch to control them, get ready for the rest of your party to start walking towards them, forcing you to micromanage the entire situation again. The story is sub-par and uninteresting, the gameplay is weak, and the graphics are somehow less impressive than those in Neverwinter Nights 1. The characters are insufferable to listen to, and there's almost no one in your party who's likable. On the plus side, you do get all the expansions for a low price, so there's that at least. Overall, I did not enjoy my time with this game, and unfortunately, I’m not done yet. P.S.: No, I have not modded the game.
