This will probably make me finally get around to playing it. I had a lot of fun with NWN back in the day, but that was more the multiplayer custom servers. The single player campaign was pretty mediocre.
I never actually played the sequel, but I remember hearing very good things about the Mask of the Betrayer expansion to NWN2. Hope it lives up to the reputation.
The base campaign… it is better than NWN’s base campaign but not by much. And it is peak Obsidian “We ran out of money about 70% in”.
But yeah. Mask of the Betrayer is legitimately amazing. It isn’t Planescape level (no matter what people claimed) but it is easily on par with BG2 and you can see a LOT of Pillars DNA in there.
That’s good to know. Are the expansions independent or do you have to get through the base game first? Would you recommend just doing Mask of the Betrayer and calling it a day there?
I’ve tried playing this game multiple times, but just got bored too quickly. The characters are all unlikeable in their own way and the game often goes out of its way to create conflict between them so you have to pick a side and gain/lose relationship points with the respective party member.

OMFG This is so freaking hype! I love Neverwinter Nights 2 but could never get past a certain point because the crashes came in hot, fast, and ready to disrupt my gameplay. The fact they are bringing it to Xbox Series X|S makes me super happy, as while it is Steam Deck Verified…I don’t know if I could wait until the ProtonDB reports of performance on Desktop Linux. ROFL This Enhanced Edition is the perfect treat!
