Fun game so far (played for an hour), but you get more with this game than you think.....

I hope you guys like stealth installs of DRM software that behaves similarly to rootkits, see this thread:

The *real* appeal of NWN is the persistent world scene. Persistent worlds that have a full development team and that are actively DM'd are incredible.

It's as close to pen & paper RPG'ing as you can get on a PC. That was what NWN was about from the start.

Single player is simply there to increase sales volume to cover development costs. But from the get-go it was designed to be a fully customizable DM run event.

For hard core D&D'ers/RPG's it was revolutionary.

If only their toolset wasnt riddled with bugs

Ive had nothing but problems with nwn2s toolset so far, including game stopping crash bugs, not just little annoyances.

Warning: This game is TERRIBLE. Controls are retarded and camera makes it unplayable.

actually it is in desperate need of a patch. i bought the game on Day 1 and have been unable to play it. if you have doubts, check the Support Forums at Obsidian or Atari.

oob it was playable for many ... then a series of patches fixed some things and broke others... they PROMISED a working patch by Thanksgiving but only released 1.03 BETA

be aware

i installed and played it tonight.... i've had no issues, and my old school rig (sempr64 S754 @ 2.1ghz, 1gig DDR 333, X850 XT) runs it quite well. i like the camera, although i wish it would rotate faster

You can adjust the camera scroll speed in the options.
