I avoided this game when it first came out because reviews of it were so bad. User reviews I saw from players at the time were likewise as scathing. I kept avoiding it because Obsidian still continues to make buggy games even today, and Neverwinter Nights 2 was their first, or among their first offerings. Lately, I kept seeing it here on gog. Kept remembering how much I liked the first Neverwinter Nights. Kept hearing how there have been patches and the like. Figured I'd give it a try. Big mistake. Even on a modern computer that can easily run modern games, this game staggers, stutters and sputters along like a cantankerous old car. The game is that badly optimized and it's obvious Obsidian didn't know how to fix it, or simply couldn't be bothered to fix it completely. What patches I've found have fixed some things, but this game has way too many problems.
