I tried to play NWN a couple of times but kept quitting. DnD rules are good for board games.. but shit, being able to cast a spell once a day just sucked as a video game. Hopefully they mix NWN with Diablo II and come up with something big.

Looks great so far (o.O castles for player?) and I really hope the game doesn't come out as a buggy mess and that the eyecandy will actually run on normal computers. Also, the story branching sounds like a lot of replay value if they do it right...

Ok, that preview has me wanting this game. The first NWN was a disappointment, the sequel just looks awesome.

The storyline and dialogue in NWN and it's expansion packs was utter garbage compared to BG2. Hope they improve that.

After buying NWN like a pig in a poke, I really need to play a demo of this first. NWN was a decent game, but you know, when you're (rightly!) being compared to predecessors like BG2 and Torment for SP and IWD for multiplayer fun, NWN could never rate higher than _decent_

Don't get me started on MP. MP sucked so much, it wasn't funny. The SP campaign at least was playable, but we then went to play Hordes of the Underdark, which turned out to be a COMPLETE bugfest in MP. (example: CTD when someone else triggered in-game scenes. Getting kicked out on Chapter changes, etc, etc.)

You know, I bought the Hordes expansion and never got around to beating it.

I found the original SP in NWN to be horrible and was so disappointed with the game in general. Everyone said Hordes was a big improvement so I picked it up, but I quit during the first dungeon for some reason. Not really sure why...

Actually i played the SP campaign but MP was where it was at. Before GW came out there was not any other option for that type of Persistant World play, that you didn't have a monthly charge to pay. The community kept NWN1 going for so long. I still have NWN1 installed on my pc right now for that reason.

Are people actually waiting for the NWN2 campaign? The thing is that it can never be as good as those modules the fans made because again the story sounds quite bad.
