This overpriced "EE" does nothing for previous existing NWN:DE users, while also charging for the 'latest related content' and introducing paid mods. An aberration to say the least, as present in GOG while not a 'present' by any means for them NWN fans. Judging by the Beamdog blog, updates for this game are either on hold or dead, which doesn't really spell good news for owners of this edition, as they usually contain bugfixes. This really calls for a missed opportunity to bring a bit of pulse to the struggling cRPG genre, and an extremely weak attempt at putting a classic back in shape. CDs can be a beautiful thing.
Sure, it's got a great concept regarding its plot, yet fades into obscurity by the game's poor mechanics. Interface is extremely unintuitive, objects are hidden in absurd places (many of which aren't used at all, like the piece of bread). The monologues are boring and extremely uninspiring; the main character seems to be lacking in many things, including Y chromosomes. Music is monotonous, sometimes feels like getting stabbed by screwdrivers through each ear. Fortunately it has volume controls... right? Well, you can't turn its MIDI music completely off without turning the SFX off as well. Graphics were probably good for 1996, but haven't aged too well. If you want decent point & click go for Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Dark Seed, Myst, etc.
