I was skeptical, as always, of a high level expansion. There is no more "Ooo, Ahh" left. Well pft on that. Black Isle, I mean Interplay, err, or Obsidian, got it with this one.

I had a couple places where I snagged, and thought the game was bugged, but it was really just my own idiocy at missing things.

Wonderful story, near lagless at near max settings on my mid level gaming rig (Probably a 900 dollar build now). I missed the "Keep" management, but was pleased they left the old crafting system in place, along with an updated version.

If you are like me, and gave up on NwN 2 when you hit level 15 and frame rates dropped to 7 on your X800, or 7800, try it again from scratch. Do it now. It made me put down "The Witcher", and I still have not even opened up the "Twilight Princess" for the Wii (Though that tennis game it comes with is another story).

Anyway, great game, install fresh, and actually have fun at epic levels in DnD 3E point whatever they are on now.

    Last year's Neverwinter Nights 2 was remarkable in the fact that it improved upon its predecessor considerably. While NWN 2's OC was infinitely better than the original's, it was still fairly generic by Obsidian's standa... Read Full Review
