Full transparency, I usually play these games on the easiest difficulty possible, if they allow it. I'm usually not very fond of gameplay mechanics that leave the outcome of my actions to random chance so I just prefer to stack the odds in my favor so that I could enjoy the story and get an occasional dopamine hit when my character whacks a goblin with a sword. And in most tabletop-inspired RPGs it works and I can have a great time. For a while, such was the case with Neverwinter Nights 2. I was off on a fun fantasy adventure while meeting new companions along the way who all had their distinct quirks and managed to quickly grow on me. But then my quest took me to a dungeon that was infested with enemies that gave my entire party a series of massive debuffs. This prevented me from doing any damage or running away, as everyone was injured and slowed down. I was essentially soft-locked because I didn't have any other recent save games. That's when I decided to stop playing and never tried it again. Sure, I could try restarting the game with a more optimized character build, go in prepared with some debuff-removing potions, and even try saving the game more often. But after facing such a blunder with this game, I never found a good reason to do so, considering how many other great RPGs are coming out pretty much every year, and I can have a much more rewarding experience with those instead. I was initially drawn to NWN 2 because of my positive experience with KOTOR and the Dragon Age series, as well as other computer RPGs such as Planescape Torment or Fallout. But clearly, this game has proven to be much more complex than those other titles, and I'm simply not patient enough to try and figure it out. If you're the kind of player who excels in this type of gameplay then this will probably read like a glowing review to you. But to me, the only highlight was the writing and the overall vibe of the game. Gameplay - not so much.

Base game works 100% and there's no problems. Expansions will introduce savegame issues (corrupted). I dont have any hdd, only ssd's in my system (brand new 850 evo's), I dont have any antivirus running (including Windows Defender) so yeah. I was really looking forward to playing the expansions as I've never played them before, but sadly that didn't work out.

amazing game motb alon is the master piece ! a lot of mods wroth every penny!! for rpg and d&dplayers

The games save game system does not work at all and crashes the game when it tries to save it. Had a lot of fun with the original game back when it was released.

Dreadful controls. Dreadful AI. The main story is pretty average and not all that inspiring but what lets it down are the controls and the AI. You characters won't do what they're told half the time. They won't use abilities 50% of the time this includes spells. They have trouble following the leader and have a habit of wandering around in search of enemies, in other parts of the dungeon you haven't even explored yet. I had a tough job micro managing this and trying to keep things under control but I simply had had enough of the jank. I don't remember the original being this bad. Seriously this was bloody awful.
