Jolt: "The latest NWN2 expansion is probably the closest a computer game has come to representing authentic pen and paper Dungeons & Dragons gameplay. It's a great concept, but with one notable problem: D&D games are designed for 4-6 players and this is a strictly solo experience. Whereas past Neverwinter Nights campaigns have given us a single character to customise and propelled us along on an immersive journey with the aid of AI companions, Storm of Zehir sees you create a party of four from scratch with the goal of making your fortune on the Sword Coast before eventually deciding to retire."
GamersGate are having a massive weekend sale offering 66% off Neverwinter Nights titles.
NWN2 has been patched to 1.23, which has finally added a multiplayer file auto-downloader, and many other in-game fixes.

Great day for the NWN2 mod Community.
Hopefully people will make the transition from NWN1 who didnt join us before!
Very true... I just have a problem with those huge polygons from the first now that I play nwn2 =P
NWN1 was still a great game! I put a lot of hours into it back in the day.
I've had a copy of Neverwinter Nights 2 signed by Obsidian dev team for a couple months now. /brag
I haven't played it, though. Maybe I'll try it out this weekend.

I'm not one of those people. I'd much rather champion a developer who tries new and interesting things but sometimes fails, rather than simply going along with a developer who clones ideas and succeeds. But something just seems to be wrong with Obsidian. They usually come up with good ideas, but can they actually develop games? Can they finish a project on time and without a plethora of bugs? Recent evidence suggests that the answer to these questions is "no," and Storm of Zehir, their latest expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights 2, is at best a black eye for them."
