Had the game have better controls and a good engine backing it up, I think it would be rated very highly. Story is good in the original and the first expansion (I don't care for the second expansion), gameplay is fun and you can play with friends. However if you likes the D&D, this is a good choice. Also the camera interface is wonky, uses the opposite button of every other "over the shoulder" game out there. Not a problem on modern hardware, you can just throw more CPU/GPU power at it than it needs, but don't expect it to be as fast as you might think for a game of that era/looks. It runs very slow, given the level of graphics. The problem with the game is mostly in the engine. The game doesn't acknowledge that there are multiple "heroes" it acts as though it is just a single play, but works fine. Each player can interact with things, you can configure who controls various things, you can trade items, you can basically just play the campaign as a group. More or less plays just as single player but there is another character (or more than one, if there are more than two people) in there. I've never done any of the custom stuff, just played the campaign but it works quite well. It looks like he might be making a return though which is great news for gamers because the guy is a badass. He turned 'em down because modding is just a fun pastime for him but, sadly, didn't have time to create experiences for Dragon Age due to family. He was one of the many top-notch NWN modders who was good enough to be offered jobs by Bioware and other game studios.

The two expansions get better kudos than NWN2's first campaign, but the mod community blows 'em both away.ĭefinitely play any mods made by Adam Miller. I was too busy playing WoW and other games to jump into NWN2 (dabbled a bit with a friend's copy), but most people have similar comments about that sequel. Like Quake huge with enough mods and tweaks to last you for years of gameplay. I was a huge junkie for the original Neverwinter Nights and while people differ in opinion over the stock campaign, the mod community was freakin' huge. At the same time, you can get really gonzo with metagaming/roleplaying if you feel the urge to become a god instead of a mere hero.
If that sounds intimidating, don't sweat it, except for a brief encounter as a kid, I never played DnD and still found Neverwinter Nights easy to cope with. The ruleset is a dumbed-down, yet still deep version of Dungeons and Dragon's 3.5 ruleset. From a gameplay standpoint, it's similar to Baldur's Gate or other squad based rpgs.
TL: DR - game is a steal at this price and the mod community is incredible.ĭetails: NWN2 is something of a resources hog relative to it's graphical fidelity, but any computer built since around 2009 should handle it with little trouble.
