    In this topic, members have posted many important points out of which even if 50% are implemented, NWN2 will be a good game without doubt.

    However, a very basic question; may be out ignorance but I didn't find anything which answers my question in forum rules.

    Does the feedback from here actually goes to the game developers?
    Has someone summarized this whole discussion and actually rated the various demands i.e. the feature demanded by max. members to be given highest priority etc.?

    Developers of D&D games pretty much as a rule stick to their own official forums. Some of them read other forums here and there too, but that's about it. If any of them look here now and then unofficially, there's no way of knowing it.

    I cant say for sure what I want... except, story-wise, I sure as heck hope they make the ending of the new game BETTER than the ending of the first.

    That, to me, was a HUGE disappointment.

    I'm more concerned about the story, than the gameplay. (Hell, look at FF7 and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: crappy graphics, camera-problems, glitches all-around--but great stories.)

    That's about it.

    After seeing the screens and gameplay movies, I have a feeling this game is going to be another big disappointment. I'll just hang until gamespot review it, and if it's any less than 9.0, I'll pass.

    NWN's original campaign sucked. Every review pointed out all the glaring problems it had. Nevertheless, NWN turned out to be a very fun game for many of us due to modules created by the player community and online play.

    As a tool for re-creating the table-top experience, NWN was great. A good DM and a group of good RPers could have fun for hours in a basic tavern or dungeon with a couple goblins. In that sense, NWN2 can only be an improvement.

    For me, the game won't be made or broken by the campaign it ships with.

    That said, the graphics are not blowing me away. Much of the game is looking like recycled NWN: many of the same sounds, same monsters, same NPCs and same basic setting.

    I thought the online play was stinking awful actually, the toolset was fun to play with for a few hours, but is so limited. I found gameplay incredibly dull, and everything seemed lifeless. By the looks of things, nothing has changed. The campaign for me is the single most important thing.

    I agree. The single player campaign is what this game should be judged on, even though the graphics look to be a huge improvement from the first neverwinter nights. Hope there's a good storyline and ending to it, with a variety of scenarios dependant on your characters attributes. It gets boring to play to the same ending and consistent storyline unless there was more than one route to get there. I haven't played a game to an exciting storyline since Baldur's Gate & Baldurs Gate 2. That aside, I hope there are some fascinating magic items in the game and interesting characters to meet.

    I agree as well. The only thing I will be judging the game on is the enjoyability of the single player campaign.
