Why should I like Neverwinter Nights 2?

[IncendiaryDevice]

You like what you like, I'll like what I like, some third guy will like what he likes.

But one liking isn't as good as other liking.

You're either kidding or you need to grow the hell up

Yeah man, I mean, why even bother discussing anything or having any kind of standards, at the end of the day one guy will like:

And another will like:

Move along please, nothing to discuss here, you're all just being taste-nazis.

Here you go people, evidence straight from discussion about Enchanced Edition. Neverwinter Nights ARE considered classics.

Your first mistake was asking a forum why you should like something -- are you not contented with your own opinions? You need some sort of validation from fat neckbeards on the web? What the fuck is wrong with you?

You're clueless about the purpose of this thread. I asked beceause I hate the game, but wanted to know if it has any redeeming qualities I didn't know about, anything that would justify its status of praised classic RPG.
So far the only explanation I got there is that it's not bad enough to be hated, also people were claiming that it is not considered classic, which is false.

The expansions are good, in my opinion. Mask of the Betrayer, for the writing, companions and atmosphere. Storm of Zehir is an interesting expansion. Writing isn't good, but I like the full party creation and that you can choose which character speaks in dialog. I like how non-combat abilities work.

Neverwinter Nights 2 OC is like a fantasy novel that starts kind of pedestrian but becomes more than the sum of its parts in the last leg.

It's a worthy addition to a great lineage of RPGs, but I see why people don't like it.

 

[aweigh]

why would you need your hate validated also? sounds like you're on the fence honestly

I'm just gonna post this here...

And that, my friends, is only the time I played on my Steam copy of the game. I have had several copies of NWN 2 since its release. Actually, I bought my first PC in 2005 mostly because our PC couldn't possibly run NWN 2.

On NWN2:

As others have stated, camerafags are simply retards. Just switch the camera mode to exploration or whatever it's called. The main thing (for me at least) about NWN2 is the sheer amount of builds and party setups that you can try. Even without mods the possibilities are many.

"Yeah, this build I'm planning sounds cool. I wonder if I can beat Lorne with it?" - AAAAAND I'm playing NWN2 again...

As for the story, I'm not much of a storyfag but I agree that OC is kinda "meh" while MotB is much better. Crossroad Keep is a fun minigame and your choices regarding the keep actually DO matter later on. I never understood why the same company took so many steps backwards on their later game (PoE). The trial is also cool and a nice display of C&C + build.

NWN2 is a worthy addition to your RPG library, but if you can't deal with its core gameplay mechanics (RTwP, D&D 3.5 ruleset, weird engine that resets your position from time to time) then there is no point to playing it "for the story" since it's just not that good.

Also, mandatory:

NWN 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> POE

I wonder if I can beat Lorne with it?

Not a high bar though.

You have shown yourself to be an idiot; that is the purpose of this thread.

Since when asking questions about matter I don't understand is sign of being an idiot? It's only you that've shown you're retard as you attacked me without a justified reason.

Some fan made modules are good, way less than nwn1 however, due to the toolset being a mess.

 

[Inziladun]

Building Maps in the NWN2 toolset was an old past time of mine. Had cities, dungeons, forests, the whole nine all created for a mod I was going to make, that I never made... but I had a ton of fun making the maps. Never got around to uploading them as freeware though.

Don't remember much about the actual game other than it started in the most boring Peasant village in the world and that I wore a Fedora throughout the entirety of the game.

 

[Apostle Hand]

I tried playing NWN2 but the camera is so stoopid, so I had to uninstall it.

There are so much threads here, I can't read them all.

 

[Master]

With some mods it isn't half bad. You get used to the camera.

 

[Micormic]

uninstalling it

 

[Apostle Hand]

Well I hope that Beamdog will enhance it, like they did with BG games.

It would sure solve all bug problems.

It looks I got 'shitposter' tag.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

, I can't read them all.

Fairly certain the quantity of threads does not affect your ability to read in the slightest.

 

[Apostle Hand]

Yeah, you're right.
