I played this through to the end (the original NWN2). The characters are interesting, voice acting good, plotting fair, typical D&D and cool for that. Music well done as well. Inventory mgmt typical for the time. I had a few bugs, one that wouldn't let me leave a location forcing a quite old save (worked the second time thru lost about 2 hours). I think the game broke down near the end. The entire keep building "mini-game" thing near the end felt contrived and out of place and frankly wasn't that interesting. The ultimate build-up to the final battle was...fair...I've played far better...but this game truly has the ALL TIME WORST ENDING OF ANY RPG EVER. I'm 35. I've been playing PC RPGs/NES/Sega Master System (Phantasy Star 1 shoutout)/SNES/etc etc since the 80s -- Ultima V, Wizardry 5 on thru the SSI games and then the "old"/new classics of BG1+2/IWD/etc... This game takes the cake. Go ahead. Google NWN2 ending disappointment. They flaked at the end. Wasn't cool. The opposite of how cool some games build up and then "pay off." After countless battles, hours, story investment, etc, it just literally peters out, trails off, and meh.... I wanted to like this more, but about 2/3 through (the first 2/3 really were rather fun and enjoyable just now AWEsome) -- the last 1/3 was like a terrible early aftertaste of bitterness....
