Quick review: NWN is a good game technically, but differs from past bioware / black isle D&D games in that you don't have a party, it's just you and an underling you hire, who also never levels up. This diamond edition is a good deal and you'll have fun playing this. just look for mods to improve the game play a bit. Verdict: Buy on sale, or if you really like D&D games then buy it full price. Extra: There are mods that make some very good game play changes that i feel are needed. they increase follower count from one to 4. causes them to level up when you do and transition between the modules with you.
Quick Review: Building off of the first game both technically and story wise. An even better experience then the original BG. You can export your character to use in other black isle / bioware D&D games or import your character from them. Verdict: Buy, now. Sale or no. Extra: if you get this game and the original you can play the original baldur's gate in this one's engine with some easy to use mods. makes for one huge game.
Quick Review: Baldur's gate is a great game, and your characters can be exported to play in the other D&D games from bioware / black isle. Verdict: Buy it, either full price or on sale. well worth the price.
