Still in the beta phase [Posted on 2007-05-01]
This game had potential, but it needed to be properly beta tested for another few months. The game would get 3 stars overall if I didn't have to reinstall it every few days because its 2-D textures are missing and if I didn't have to spend hours browsing self help forumns to get the framerate decent. I have a nVidia GeForce Go 7800 GTX (256 mb card), 2 gigs of kingston memory and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core 4800+ processor. I should not be having any problems running this game, but I had plenty. The story line is interesting so far. I kind of wish they wouldn't have given me a dumb halfling bard as an npc, especially when they could have given me a cleric. And let me tell you, he is as obnoxious as he sounds, and useless. You get a wizard, sorcerer and thief, and all three are much cooler than the obnoxious little halfling. And having a magic user and a thief with you completely eliminates the need for him. Anyhow, the henchman AI is horrible, there is an unofficial mod that is supposed to help with this, but I haven't tried it yet. You are given some choices to turn certain behaviors on and off, such as their usage of items, but there is no button for "Hey fool! Don't cast a fireball at the party's feet!". Or a button for "Druid please, I know you aren't a cleric but please use your healing spells, two of my party members ran off to aggro the rest of the dungeon and have left me for dead.". But the brief periods where my henchmen don't do anything dumb and when the framerate dosn't slow down to 20, the game is fun. Get this game used, borrow it from a friend, or wait and see if they drop the price. Atari owes me an apology though. "No, Atari, we don't want a female drow cleric, we would rather have a short, stupid, dumpy, useless, obnoxious little halfling! Duh!".

Best games ever, but [Posted on 2007-07-27]
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.

Not an improvement over NWN, not as fun as BG [Posted on 2007-07-31]
I feel like this game reached its height of fun with Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2. Since then its gone down hill. At least you can play with more chars in your group in NWN2 and have more control over them than NWN. However, even though NWN2 has taken some power away from the fighter types compared to NWN (no more devastating critical), it still seems like magic is MUCH less important in these games than in BG. Also, to me a lot of the fun comes from controlling the leveling of several different kinds of characters, but there are many limits on this in NWN2 (limited number of custom characters, few choices on classes to level chars to, etc.). If you haven't played BG, get that at a bargain price instead.

Neverwinter Nights 2 (DVD-ROM) I'm disappointed in the game because being out so long. Its still full of bugs. Icant get to
chapter 2 because the game crashes during uploading ,and i'cant find a
fix.

sucks [Posted on 2007-12-26]
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.
