If you are a stickler for accurate translations, then a game where the grammar is terrible and the dialog being voiced doesn't match the written description will drive you insane pretty quickly; someone not concerned with such things will simply gloss over them.
This can extend as far as someone liking a truly awful game such as Dungeon Lords or not liking an excellent game such as Baldur's Gate 2, based on a single non-central element. Neverwinter Nights 2 is not the apogee of role-playing games, but it is certainly not the nadir. There are some clear issues with the game - it is very linear, the party system conflicts with the focus on the main character and cutscene-driven story telling - and the overall performance is not very good.
But the combat system is refined from the original game and the party system offers an excellent level of interaction and development - the overall experience includes working with your party and developing your stronghold in addition to the main story and side quests. Your opinion of this game will be strongly influenced by your opinion of the original Neverwinter Nights and also the relative importance you place on single player versus multiplayer campaigns.
I loved the original NWN and have greatly enjoyed the expansions, premium modules and user content that have come along in the years since. It seems that NWN 2 is lagging in terms of focus on the multiplayer experience, but the developers are patching the game quickly and I'm confident that you will still have the game on your system three years from now, with extra modules and content piled all over the place. I am encouraged that despite some initial concerns we are starting to get some user-created content.
I am further heartened by the obvious commitment Obsidian has already shown through their extensive patches to date - each one significantly reduces the bugs and problems while also improving performance and taking user suggestions into account. It is a game that I heartily recommend - while also sharing many of the concerns Corwin addresses, just to a much lesser degree.
It's amazing how ideas that look great on paper don't always work in practice. When I first read that Obsidian's campaign would require the unknown player to work to gain favour and win influence with those that counted, it sounded appealing.
The reality is the execution didn't quite match the concept and the first 20 hours of NWN 2 are tedious. Fortunately, the slumbering story suddenly awakes with Chapter Two and quickly gathers pace, plus a deeper crafting system and the player Stronghold scenario add some texture and diversity as the game progresses.
Sure, you're once again chasing a McGuffin to defeat an Ancient Evil but chunks of the story are rooted in politics and human events that are quite interesting, despite the linearity and annoyances such as forced party member changes. On the other hand the interface is straight from hell and has me bashing my head on the desk in frustration. Every one of Corwin's points is valid and then some.
The addition of a real party lifts the single-player gameplay well above the original NWN and, at times, you'll smile as a moment of classic party-based goodness shines through - but then you'll come crashing down when the lack of formation controls has your puny mage up front blocking the door and the melee tanks head off in the opposite direction - perhaps off to the tavern for a stiff drink.
The latest v1. Select all and rubberbanding but the beta implementation still has a long way to go and exposes other shortcomings that Baldur's Gate had down pat nearly 10 years ago. Obsidian is working hard with updates and the underlying improvements make NWN 2 a much better single-player game than the original, not to mention the potential of community mods once some of the toolset roadblocks are sorted out.

If Elanee left the PC see Elanee 's page for details before facing the King of Shadows, and is still alive, this is shown:. Crossroad Keep has a score variable which is altered due to decisions made during the PC's ownership of it, and work done to rebuild it, and if the King of Shadows is destroyed. There are 3 possible outcomes:. If the PC is under the thrall of the King of Shadows, obviously this occurs.
This is the female version, the male version replaces she with he, her with him etc. There is a standard ending saying what happened to the Githyanki too; added on just before the final words. Also any other minor or moderate quests which would result in some further action after the events of the campaign are not stated.
This probably would have occurred just after the King of Shadows was defeated. It is a very early draft of work. This was probably cut due to it being not ambiguous. Who knows if a further campaign could follow from the original official one, since the voice over makes no mention of anyone dying. Also, this ending cannot take into account servitude of the King of Shadows. Apart from assuming that Crossroad Keep is right next to Merdelane and is visible, it also is only for when the King of Shadows was defeated.
