I have an obsence amount of hours in NWN2. Was it out of enjoyment? No. I just wanted to finish the main campaign. I couldn't bring myself to do MOTB. I'm sure it's the best in terms of storytelling but it's *still* more Neverwinter Nights 2's gameplay. The Neverwinter series is my first in-depth experience with DnD. Pros -The selection of "new" races, classes, and spells and other abilities -Having your alignment be interactable is a welcome change once you figure out how it works here. -Unlocking prestige classes are nice, I just wish there was a notification -Upgrading the Keep was the best part -The Jerros & Sand carry the campaign on their backs -Nice Guy Casavir vs Problematic Chad was about as interesting as watching two incels fight on Reddit Cons -AI didn't age well, it plays worse than Dragon Age Origins -Gamebreaking bugs could either force you to reset an entire playthrough or use the console -Crafting is complicated and useless -The OC is *that* bad, there's only 3 or 4 characters who had decent arcs -Combat. It's okay at best when everything works... if you don't mind babysitting your companions -Inventory management is... something else. No cross companion inventory at the keep or inn when you have over 7 companions? Never again, that's all I have to say.

Very difficult to figure out what is going on and what I can do about it. I'll have to spend a lot more time with tutorials.

I mean, "Terrible !!", not because of the game itself. But because of the way the game runs, it is very precarious and does not work at higher resolutions at all. It is very expensive for what is charged in that game, at least it was to run in higher resolutions and have a multiplayer, it is the minimum for that high value charged in an old game. Sorry I will not support this. I don't even recommend mods to fix it. Wait for a remaster if he ever leaves.

The quests feel very rail-roaded. Controlling the camera is a constant fight; controlling your party is even worse. You'd think that having a bigger party and a more fully realised 3d-environment would be upgrades to NWN1, but alas they are very much not. And where the first Neverwinter Nights was cirticised (rightly so) for its somewhat bland storytelling, in this game the plot (for as far as I managed to play) boils down to "I could tell you, but Jim from three towns over can say it even better. Go bother him." Then there's the technical difficulties. If you leave your computer on for a while and then try to play NWN2, the graphics become really choppy. You see, there is a counter on your processor keeping time since last bootup, and NWN uses that for the rendering engine. Only if that number gets large, NWN can't really deal with it and your graphics/animations go to sh-t. So in conclusion: don't. Play NWN1 instead. It's less refined in some areas but at least doesn't ACTIVELY suck as much.
