    Ive thorouoghly enjoyed Baldurs gate, Icewind Dale and the first NWN. Have been playing NWN-2 for a few weeks and its OK. Story line is interesting but the quests are lacking in imagination and detail. Its also a little buggy, nothing serious. Read more or see product

    I personally did not experience any bugs that truely hindered my game play. I think twice I had a game crash (#1 rule of RPGs, save early same often). Also I noted that rendering of water at full graphics settings slowed things down, and in the one or two spots where this was a problem I had to temporarily tone down my graphics settings.

    • Good RPG in the same vein as NWN 1 and Baldurs Gate.
    • There are some reported bugs in the Mac port.
