The Complete Edition is great. It does have some issues at times, such as when you install it, sometimes you have to restart your pc just to get it to launch. Other times, it will launch right away but display at 24 fps until you restart once. This game is basically the EE but without the controller support. I just tested multiplayer earlier, and connected to a persistent world no problems. Or rather, minimal issues. You do have to "log in" to multiplayer but it times out after about 20-30 seconds, and from there you can Direct Connect to persistent worlds. There's a list of all major PW's for not only NWN 2 but also NWN 1. It starts with hero. Check it out. Seriously, if you're wondering if you should get this for $20 or the EE for $30... Save yourself $10 unless you really need controller support. I do not. I'm happy with what I already own.

I didn't get my copy from GOG, as I got the game when it was first released, but it needs to be said; BUY THIS GAME. Into single player RPG's? Here it is. Prefer multiplayer slugfests? This game has it. A fan of mmorpg's and persistent worlds? Neverwinter Nights 2 has those too, many of which continue to thrive even to this day. Yes, it was released in a buggy state (most of which were fixed over the years via patches), but frankly it isn't nearly as buggy as many other popular RPG's on release (*cough* elderscrolls *cough). Let me put this in perspective; this is the only game that my friends and I have been playing none stop, EVERY DAY over the last eight years. I am not exaggerating. The game's multiplayer is that good. Single player isn't bad either (Mask of the Betrayer is the highlight here), though the Storm of Zehir campaign is pretty terrible, so don't use that one as a measure for anything. I guess I should specify; its co-op multiplayer is good. It has PVP, though you'll get various statements about how it isn't good for that by many in the community. This however, is more due to the nature of D&D than NwN 2 itself. The best part about NwN 2 is what everyone says; the mods. Everything from levels, equipment and spells to entire gameplay conversions are available. There's a lot to be said about this game, but I won't ramble on much longer. Just leave it at NwN 2 being one of the easier games to recommend on GOG..

Multiplayer cannot be used without logging into a Bioware account. LAN mode requires online connection to Bioware servers. Either remove this DRM riddled filth from GOG or fix it.

Bought the game a while ago and got to the second town that's being harassed by lizardfolk. It crashed and all the saves were corrupted. Tried several things but eventually just uninstalled it. A few months ago I reinstalled it. It started crashing around or not long after the scripted death just after the tutorial. Tried some fixes, and gave up. Had an itch to play it again last night. All the NPC animations constantly stuttered. Didn't even let the game crash, and uninstalled it. Going to try reinstalling it for the third time now. Based on my previous experience with this game from this platform I expect some random crash at some other random time. It ran better, with no fan patches, on my mac in 2007.

Good game but buggy as hell, and too short to really flesh out all the characters. The expansion has some interesting games ideas but the soul eating mechanic is more interesting as a story device, and annoying in actual practice. Clerics are way too powerful in this game while other classes like Palemaster are hard to use. The crafting is kinda painful bec you have to scrounge for stuff, and you can usually survive with premade items that you find. The castle building minigame feels forced and out of place. In summary, lots of good ideas but not enough game to flesh out/maximize them.
