I've been playing NWN2 a bit, and I'm pretty happy with it so far. The graphics are really nice, even after scaling it down a bit to run on my computer. I think some improvements could be made, like the option to disable vsync from the graphics menu...

My frames/sec were pretty low until I forced vsync off through my ATI control panel. It seemed almost like a different game after that, the framerate increase was huge. I've enjoyed the game much more after doing that, I absolutely cannot stand low frames per second.

I'm mainly looking forward to using the toolset, but it's a litte more intimidating than the NWN1 toolset, which was pretty much all tile based. I decided to play through the single player campaign before getting too deep in the toolset.

If you want to enjoy your NWN2 experience even more, check out this UI mod:

http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view...I.Detail&id=29

After using this for a few days, I don't think I could go back to using the default UI. It doesn't overwrite any NWN2 files, and can be turned on/off in game, so there really isn't any reason not to try it out.

This is really the only game i've been looking forward to this season. I haven't picked it up yet, but it sounds like at least a few of you are enjoying it. After the Christmas season is over and I have some time again (hopefully), I'll probably have to pick it up it sounds like.

Well, I've finally finished the original campaign. Unfortunately, there were quite a few bugs when this was released which were a bit of a pain - thankfully they released patches pretty quickly, but these definitely took away from the overall *goodness* of the game.

For those who want more modules to play, I've found that Neverwinter Vault has a pretty good selection of user created ones:
http://nwvault.ign.com/index2.shtml

I give this game 8 out of 10, once the bugs were fixed (especially the screen refresh issues in the original game - almost unplayable, even with a decent machine). I'm pretty much only play single player, as I can't be online consistently to do it any other way, so this is really a single player rating.

edit: I played a wizard - bloody hard to start with, but bloody cool once you can start flinging all kinds of nastiness at the baddies

...and, if you find a quality roleplaying server, you can actually do just that: roleplay with quality. No hack-and-slash metagaming. All in-character playing (read: you actually act your alignment/class/race, etc. and build a story within a persistent world). It's like pen & paper AD&D, except you get a lot more playing done because you don't have to get your friends together and the computers calculate all the rolls and movements -so- much faster. (Oh, and you don't need to use your imagination as much.) I'm so addicted to online NWN and soon to be NWN2 once the server I'm on launches their NWN2 server.

I've seen clips of WoW. I would never play it because I'm such a dedicated roleplayer. I first learned D&D Basic Edition (the red books). WoW doesn't appeal to me at all.

Edit: Did I mention that playing NWN & NWN2 online is FREE?

I am very much looking forward to the expansion pack. Should be out in just over a week here in the US.

I loved the first campaign. I thought it was much better then NWN in most all respects. Certainly wasn't a perfect game, but better then most, IMO. Reminded me very much of BG and BG2.

This is not really surprising when you know that Obsidian is a work place full of ex Black Isle staff (who made Baldurs Gate etc.)

puhzactly... and since BG and BG2 are two of my all time favorite games, then it's not a bad thing.

normally i wouldn't say anything bad about Bioware, since they are the hands down gods of CRPGs, but i truly feel that NWN2 is a better single player game then NWN. it still has a long way to go for MP, tho.

OK, I just got neverwinter nights, diamond edition that includes the original game, shadows of undrentide and hordes of the underdark.

I just installed in and its unplayable. The screen just flickers like crazy and the character jumps around. I know this is likely a setting on the video side but I really have no clue what I'm doing. Can someone help?

Have you completely patched the game with the autopatcher? What video card to you have?
