Ok which of these 3 games should I get?

I enjoy good immersive games, that are fun to play, and have a fair amount of gameplay time.

I don't know about immersive and fun since RPGs are not my thing, but NWN offers you a lot of playtime, and that's not even counting the expansions.

I was disappointed with NWN from a RPG immersion perspective. It was more about point/click/attack than it was about the story or characters. I'd try Gothic II out, the first one was really good.

Like alm4rr said, I'd stay away from DE:IW for the time being. It runs terrible on even the high-end systems, and I would at least wait to see if a patch improves the performance.

I enjoyed the first NWN campaign, thought it was pretty cool. Like it has been said, Invisible War has had problems, and disappointed a lot of people. I tried Gothic II: The same kind of free-form world of the first, three different groups to join, some really sweet graphics, and a decent amount of play time. The major detractor I found was the story really didn't suck me in, and I thought the ending was lame.

Edit: I forgot to tell which one =) I'd choose NWN and expansion

If they're all about the same price, I'd go with NWN + expansion. Gothic II is supposed to be even more immersive than Morrowind. I tried the demo of Deus Ex II but I didn't really like it. The graphics felt choppy and unpolished and the new control interface was weird. I loved the first Deus Ex, btw.
