Easy install. Limited compatibility.
If you are running windows 7 or later and want a copy of NWN that will install and run with instant access to multiplayer servers, then NWNEE is for you. If you want an enhanced edition of one of an older title that will impress you with a modern look, slicker UI or improved content, prepare to be disappointed. Out of the box, on my system, NWNEE looked considerably worse than NWN Diamond. EE allows you to zoom to extreme close-up to see those Win98 era pixelated graphics in vibrant colour, but zooming out - where you actually play when the action starts, everything looks very blurry. Using the advanced graphics list now included in options and unselecting all of them clears this up. Perhaps with the latest graphics card, this will appear as an improvement, but I can discern no graphical improvement, even when looking at Beamdog's promotional stills. I am also experiencing periodic audio levels dropping when playing in multiplayer, which do not occur on the same system running NWN DE. Some tileset "improvements" are annoying, like peaked roofs inside parapets to drown your archers. EE allows for better multitasking allowing me to minimize the game to the taskbar just like the old game did with windows XP. That is a positive I have not seen in other reviews. UI scaling is a big improvement for some displays. Keep in mind that the developers chose to make what is basically a patch report as a new version making it incompatible with NWN patched to 1.69, unlike the community 1.71 patch which is fully backwards compatible. Fortunately, GOG is offering NWN diamond for free with the NWNEE purchase, so anyone who wishes to compare can still do so, and NWN EE will allow individual users to upgrade with overrides from the vault with as much effort as it would take with previous versions. Adding additional content like the latest CEP is as easy as ever, except that the NWN folder has been moved to the Documents folder in Windows.
