NWN2 on GOG but WITHOUT MULTIPLAYER SERIAL KEYS.

[Sifrid]

Be advised before buying please. there's an issue with the keys, it is unknown as to why but according to GOG, the issue is being investigated.

I heard it pops up at purchase but then there is no way to bring them up. So the trick is to take a screenshot at the time purchase and save it. Tech support should be able to help but its a bit crap really. At least it includes the third expansion though!

Unless that is a bug for a short peroid of time, that is not correct. They're in...

- Hover over your name up top.

- Games

- Click on the game (the white part where the name is)

- Click on "More" (It's in the top set of tabs)

- Click on Serial Keys.

Your serial keys are listed there, you just need to locate the nwncdkey file in your instillation drive and type them in.

Interesting, i actually did buy the game recently since my last post. It appears what i thought was the case may have once been the situation but it was info very much out of date, by years in fact.

That being said, i followed your instructions to see the keys but it says 'keys depleted' but its possible they are not necessary anymore as all three campaigns were available to start a game on.

For the record I own the Steam version as well, and my old save actually ported over into gog, automatically. Not sure if that may have something to do with it. But the third campaign, Mysteries of Westgate was now avaiable when in the past it wasnt on the steam version.

The Keys should be there, go back and check as they don't always appear immedately after purchasing the game (My friend had to ticket his but they were there within 12 hours).

They are not needed for the base game no, but honestly the best part of NWN2 is the modding community, personally I play on BGTSCC and love it, I wouldn't go back to a singleplayer game full time again.

I actually bought it almost a week ago now so they should have arrived by now but it still says that 'keys depleted' message. I might contact gog about it but could i ask how the mutliplayer features and modding actually works?

When i select multiplayer (via the gog version) I still get the prompt for a bioware account, (which I have) and it lets me log in, only that it says their master server is down. And it comes up that the gamespy servers are not up, which as we know went down many years ago. There are also options for starting a new campaign (which lets me select the complete editions extra campaigns), joining a game/direct play and things like that. So it appears i can still host and join games even without a key (maybe it remembers the keys from my steam version/bioware account). I even get the option to host the last expansion, mysteries of westgate. Which did not come out on steam.

So i'm wondering if I even need a gog key anymore? Given that most the features seem to be available. Other than the now defunct gamespy and biowares master server.

Hey! Sorry I didn't reply sooner, you can put in a support ticket and they will provide a set of keys, I looked into the issue.

If you want to try an online mod server please feel free to add me and I can set you up.

It's essentially like an mmo (on a smaller scale) but they're all fairly heavy RP servers.

Thanks for getting back in touch, i was about to make a support ticket but the keys appeared in my gog game details. And I added them to that nwncdkey file. I've actually been playing NWN1 EE on steam a bit recently as well and will probably play a bit of the NWN2 single player to get re-accustomed to the controls/interface but good to know the multiplayer is now a viable option for me! Will probably check out BGTSCC at some point!
Lots to keep us occupied until Baldurs Gate 3 gets completed :)

Awesome! Give me a message when you go to give it a shot.

It's really easy to set up, your keys are in which is a big step. You just need to pick a user name, any will do and you can connect. I'll link the discord and website below.

If you're on NWN2, I also recommend the Client extender, allows for more fun stuff to go on in your game at once. Just google NWN2 Client Extender and then drag it into your instillation folder, make a short cut to their exe file and boom, where ever you want it to be!.
