Just a heads up, the OC (the original campaign) in NWN is not up to Bioware standards. You may want to skip it and start off with Shadows of Undertide (which shares the same storyline as Hordes of the Underdark). Shadows of Undertide and Hordes of the Underdark do not have the same hero / storyline as the OC.
I've seen a lot of people and reviewers say that, but I've always disagreed, at least regarding the bit of the OC I played, to the beginning of Chapter 2.
I've played a lot of RPG's, and the NWN OC I found to compare well to most.
While a story element turned me off in Chapter 2, it was a matter of personal taste.
I'm a minority view, but I think it's worth saying some like the OC quite well, again at least the beginning parts.
Even 'by BioWare standards', Having played a ways into Icewind Dale II, while it's fun enough, I didn't see how it is much if any better than NWN OC yet, for example.
