Runs smooth

I haven't had any problems running the game. It's fun, but it's probably not nearly as good as the first one. I'll have to get through the whole game first to determine that.

Graphics are good for it's genre, spells look pretty nice, the bots in the game are semi intelligent. It takes a while sometimes for them to enter the fight, so you're left solo if you're not puppeting them for about 10 seconds. But who needs that if you can burn areas down?

There's a definate progression from low lvls to higher lvls. In that the higher you get the more sense of power you have. Unlike ES:Oblivion, where you could be lvl 38, but still have the same problems you had a lvl 1.

Custom Modules makes this game even better. Make your own, download fan modules, customize equipment, customize boss encounters. Make tough encounters, to test your characters and strategy.

there's a lot of potential for this game, and I would recomend it to any one who likes DnD based games. Whether you go through the Main story, or just play modules you or other people create.

4 stars overall, because the module builder for the first one was better.

Lot's of Fun

This game is a kick to play. I tried Neverwinter Nights 2 after having played Guild Wars for over a year. Since I tried NN2, I have had no desire to log on to GW. I was a huge GW fan, but this game is so much better. The AI is great (much better than the hero's system introduced in Nightfall), there are more choices, and I feel compelled to play. There are tons of options for character development. You can even create your own campaigns.

It's buggy right now, but patches are coming out to fix the problems. A little patience is required. The game will freeze sometimes after you save, but the good news is that your save will go through.

Fun Game So Far - And an Incredible Toolset!

I'm really enjoying the game so far. Much better then the original. And the graphics are incredible for a game of this type. I've also played around with the toolset and I'm amazed at how powerful and versatile it is. This is a mod maker's dream in terms of power. I hope I have the artistic talent hidden somewhere within me to really take advantage of it. Definate must have for people interested in running role playing games online or if they enjoy user created/driven content.

The single player campain has a great plott and voice talent, but needs more dynamics in gaming.

This game uses "cutscenes" and character setup "dynamics" in place of strait gameplay. For example a group of dwarves attack you and you have to go about recruiting stupid people and the PC's dynamics is not set to "if they aren't there yet!" So maybe the goofs don't "produce thier first wave". Why do companies always buden us with the task of "director of the scenes" instead of "player of them" They absently and precariously do this and think we gamers like it as if they are sleeping while programing. Star Wars KToR 2(Kreia's cuts) and Ultima 9(Minoc/Yew rock climbing caper/mine sh@#) were the same way, why not stick with the old formula of just gaming in any order(RPG) without having to "trigger this event before that or that won't happen and will blotch up the computer" Despite the plot which is excellent start to-- well I just ran the prologue and was saddened by my --SPOILED HERE 20 somthing rich kid!=-

- P character's plight and his dead Amiee.(highly unusual to kill off a main NPC character of intresting backstory so early in the adventure). And since this is supposed to be a "role" playing game, why not have alternate outcomes, "Amiee whch ya gonna do?" type stuff, not this "Dupre' b.s. of "I'm going to save you Avatar by burning myself in hell forever... For the Children." Ultima 7 pt 2 cut scene crapola.
END SPOILERs
The reason people are so "concerned" about "spoilers" in games is that they aren't true RPG's of old as thier is only the out come the director decided. The main reason I don't care for this game is not the play but the sloppy programing and steap PC requirements for very little. That it makes my wrist ache as the camera cannot be set in ANY options to work properly. That occasionally Creative sound drivers revert from multi speaker setting to the primate native 2.1 cheeze whizz setting when ATARI logo pops up. I am not imersed in the adventure(as others have stated here) and It is a forced job to play it and not freeze the system. By the way, your hard ware configs are not enough if you have a mobo over two years old you are bottle necking(a "feat" I learned long ago with my other mobo Mr. Gigabyte cheeze factor Proto 1 Ali) But even the middle end 2004+ mobos don't work and are old, you need AT LEAST an SLI or bust and not from yer local guber computer shops neither! And also a powersupply and don't use those fancy LAN party lights in that case or you'll pay with a crashed HD.(w/o a Coolermaster 850 watt or sum such). Though Antec's 550 HE-man P/S will suffice in non Raid 0 or + configs as it's absolulte voltages are just that.
for what you get it ain't worth the major upgrade of the PC. You cannot use AI Accelorators as this game(and most others) doesn't support it. So keep your lights on and play other games like that star wars junk.

How Odd, It still isn't shipped?

I have pre-ordered this game in May 2006, as soon as I realized I could. And yet, even though the game is out, and people around me have recieved it and played it, the package is not shipped. I'd hope that Amazon would have prioritized the shipping for those who ordered first over those who ordered last, as they have obviously waited longer, but I was wrong. The most annoying thing is that the estimated shipping date is "August 9 - August 18, 2006". I think the estimate is a bit off. It is frustrating, and I only hope the game is worth it.

I merely give a low raiting because I have yet to actually see the game on my screen.

Best games ever, but

Dungeons & Dragons role playing computer games are the greatest ever. But unfortunately I found out my video card would not work with the game after I bought it and failed to run it. To bad I will miss out on NWN2.

sucks

The game itself looks awsome from the previews I have seen and I have played the prior released games. But this game is so NOT compatible with my new computer that I would have to pay $[...] more to upgrade a new computer to be able to play. That was a big disappointment itself. Why would anyone make a game that is so uncompatible with computers. It would download, but I could not play the game at all.

Simply Awesome!!

NWN1 brought a lot to the line of Forgotten Realms RPGs, but they really out did themselves this time. NWN2 is amazing! Game play is exactly the same, but with much better graphics, better actors for voices of NPCs and a ton more game play! You really get your money's worth.

The potential was worth the purchase

I played the original Neverwinter Nights from the first week, and it stayed on my hard-drive up till the day NWN2 arrived in the mail. I never played through the original campaign or NWN, but the online play kept me coming back for years. But with NWN2 I am enjoying the campaign very much, and I know that the online REAL roleplaying will make it a very worthwhile purchase as was the last one. Anyone who has ever enjoyed what D&D was all about already knows how good NWN was, and NWN2 is more of the same! My only complaints would be technical, and what it demands from my PC, but knowing the years of gaming it will give me allow me to quickly overlook it.
