This or NWN2

[megaerik00]

So i played this forever ago and don't remmeber much about it. I do rememeber playing NWN2 and enjoying it. After seeing the Enhanced Edition all over my Steam, my interest has been peaked. So should i dive into this EE version, or the NWN2 version? (available on GoG for the same price)

Besides the campaigns/expansions which i'd totally play again, which one offers more content today? I'd be interested in offline mods, but online persistent servers seem like where the real fun begins. I'm not going to lie, the graphics for NWN1 are making me lean towards NWN2.

There's probably more content in the NWN:EE. Neverwinter Nights 2 has significantly better campaigns if you're planning to play single player, but I'm guessing this Enhanced Edition has the better multiplayer community/options right now.

So, I'd say get NWN2 if you're looking for a good single player game, and NWN:EE if you care about multiplayer.

I would go with NWN EE; playing NWN 2 always felt like a chore to me, and the story is VERY linear. There are some nice racial options, but that is the only real improvement besides graphics.

A NWN2 EE, "could" be a possiblity. Apparrently Beamdog may be able to get licenses from The NWN2 company. But thats not a sure thing at all.

You can be a warlock at Arelith :)

Nope.

Also, NWN2 has a lot of deleted content, broken dialogues, bugs everywhere, and classes that suck ass while they shouldn't (blackguard fiendish servant is an example).
Skip it and get EE.

I enjoy both games.

With NWN2, you can always download Kaedrin's Class Pack. It adds/fixes a good number of classes.

In my opinion, this is worth a purchase though.

...both...as well as Neverwinter online....I bounce between as mood dictates...all fun in their way...

Kaedrin's class pack is awesome!

Both are great games, though like many, the warlock was a favorite of mine in NWN 2. Nonetheless, if you check the Trello board, there is talk about a "custom classes" capability being added to NWN:EE. Personally, I'd love to see the warlock added as a built-in class in NWN:EE, but we shall see. If there is enough demand for it, we are more likely to eventually see it.

I voted for that and UI improvements on the Trello board. I've never played a Warlock for a main character in NWN2. I'll have to give that a go whenever I play 2 again.

If it's content you want, nwn:EE, if it's graphics you want... Why waste one second on either??? There are plenty of modern 2d rpg titles out there (Torchlight, D3, etc) that make nwn2... look over a decade out of date.

NwN2 was a grave disappointment that for years left me using the name Obsidian as an epithet.

For everything they seemed to improve from NwN, they did at least one thing worse. Maybe if Beamdog got ahold of the rights and did a substatial overhaul it would be up to par, but at this stage...

Stick with NwN:EE - yeah, there is a lot to complain about, there's a lot of room for improvement, but even vanilla NwN is better than NwN2.

Clearly you would get different answers if you asked on the NWN2 forums. NWN2 has some advantages.

[Firehawk]

Having advantages doesn't make it a better or more fun game.
