I got mine on eBay, and it was quite expensive, but still worth every penny.
I'm weird like that. With the inevitable release of a NWN 2 collection I'm trying to gauge which way to go.
Some folks here are saying buy it for the add-ons, and then other are saying NWN 2 is good too.
My question still wasn't answered: How are the characters in NWN 2? Feral? Bunny? DI?
Quantitatively, there is quite a lot of character interaction, but I found the characters one-dimensional and good only for a few occasional laughs - there is no depth to them, but most of them are slightly annoying, but bearable. There are a few places where the game shines (the trial, for example), unfortunately, most choices are fake (e.g. the outcome of the trial having no bearing on the rest of the game). Considering dialogues and character interaction, NWN 2 tries to follow Baldur's gate 2.
Unfortunately, there is an insane amount of horrible filler combat present, especially in the first chapter, so the game gives the impression of a hackfest.
Overall, I think that NWN 2 was inspired by Baldur's gate 2 in terms of scope and character interaction, but they failed miserably with respect of the relative amounts of (horrible hack and slash) combat and non-combat interaction.

"MotB is one of the top 3 rpgs of the 21st century"
is just a clod who thinks that a half-assed developer like Obsidian is the pinnacle of rpg making.
Their games are just playable at best compared to the complete retardness of devs like Beth. And most of their relative success is owned to their pseudo-Biowarian pedigree ( I know it hurts, but it's the truth).
Dialog, writing in MotB suck and so does the "spirit eater" mechanic which surely consumed whatever left of yours.
Pathetic storyline (what a shocker) with a ridiculous ending (as usual) that makes pretty much all the suffering you endured to play the entire game pointless.
Though your posts stink to high heaven due to fecal matter overflow, I am still interested which three RPGs published in 2001.-2008. you consider better than MotB, and which presently (de facto) functioning company is currently "the pinnacle of RPG making". Your inability to form coherent sentences makes me doubt that you are able to answer that question, so if your future post indicates the existence of the higher intellectual functions, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
