Neverwinter Nights 2 - Mask of the Betrayer is $17.99 at Circuit City this week. BB has it on sale too but $2 more.

Nice find, going to hit BB tomorrow and pricematch it to CC (BB is closer, any idea if they do %110 or will they just match it?).

CC is quickly becoming my favorite B&M for well-priced PC games... they have some good deals to PM to BB

If you buy game at BB, and PM at register, then it is 100%. If you go to CS area, then it is 110%.
Mind you, you will only save 20cents with the 110%. BB has same game for $19.99.

Too bad NWN2 has some serious issues still, and the auto patcher is borked, so you must do a manual patch install which is a PITA.

I think it would be better to wait for the "GOLD" release of NWN2, so they pack everything togethe, and then you don't have to worry about patching to play these expansion packs.

plus it will cost you less. And hopefully be less of a resource hog. I remember last I looked into NWN2 people said it consumed huge amounts of resources for visuals that weren't significantly better. Hopefully by then they'll also streamline that.

I booted up NWN Diamond Edition on my machine (lost the original I had) and was pleasantly suprised that it still looked good at the absurdly high resolutions most of us are running nowadays. NWN def is one of my favorite RPGS, despite some minor flaws.

I would prefer the AD&D games would switch to WoW or LOTRO style inventories, or even Oblivion style would be nice. I hate having to spend ages after I've just won a battle sorting through inventories and arranging 20 things to fit some guys hat or something.

But maybe I've just been too pampered by newer games. lol

It *has* been a while since you played. NWN2 now has a sort button, and highlights new items you've acquired.

I gave NWN2 a few months to work out the bugs before I started playing last spring, and I had a great experience with it. It's really an outstanding game -- the vast majority of its problems at launch have been resolved by now, and I think it's really unfair to judge it by anything other than the current state of the game. The plot, characters, and voice work are all top-notch -- having just replayed BG1 and BG2 again, it holds up extremely well by comparison. The graphics aren't state-of-the-art, Oblivion quality, but they're not bad by any means and they don't detract from the experience at all in my opinion.

I will be getting this today or tomorrow, thanks OP!
