This game has the longest and most boring tutorial that I've ever seen. I thought about quiting many times during this tutorial, but if you can withstand it, the game itself is pretty enjoyable and bug free (at least from my experience). I think it is worth buying if you like games like Frostpunk and Banished and want to try something new.
Despite its age and the outdated graphics, this game is still awesome: the story is very good and the voice acting as well as the characters are superb. I've played NWN2 many times right after its initial realease and I'm glad I decided to do it again, after 15 years :)
I strongly recommend that you get this game if you have played the original ones, but if you haven't, just don't bother (unless you want to see how a 80's game feels like, but you'll most likely hate it :). I remember playing the original Bard's Tale in 1990 and the countless hours I spent meticulously drawing all dungeon maps on grid papers. The game was really hard and brutal (like most 80's games) and the only way to save it was getting back to the Adventurer's guild, which was not easy after getting deep into a dungeon. After 30 years, I still remembered many aspects of the original game, like how to get into the first dungeon and even some of the spell names. Somehow I think all those years feel just like a quick break.
I bought this game because I saw it uses D&D rules. The mechanics are good, the graphics are OK (far from good, though), but the story is a complete crap and after a while the game becomes really boring. The story for me is the most important aspect of a classic RPG and this game lacks it badly. I do not recommend it, except for the most diehard D&D fans.
This game is awesome. If you liked Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights, just get it - Pathfinder universe, for those that doesn't know (I didn't), uses pretty much the same ruleset as D&D 3.5, so it very natural if you are used to D&D. I've read the game had a rough release, with lots of bugs, but almost all of them have been fixed and the remaining ones are really insignificant.
I remember the time when I decided to buy a new computer every time a new Wing Commander game was launched. The games were absolutely ahead of their time and Wing Commander 3 is, in my opinion the best of them all. I still remember many of the dialogs of the movies and I'll probably never forget them. This game has had a very deep impact on me and I'd give 10 stars if I could.
The games always crash on loading screen.
