    [​IMG] IMO opinion it's only worth buying if you are certain that you will be playing it multiplayer with a committed group of players. The single player campaign is just bad.
    Wait until it sells for $19.99 or something like that.

    I thought your options were a little too restrictive on the poll. I enjoyed NWN, even though it wasn't nearly as good as I expected it to be. But, I do think it was worth the money I paid for it. Is IWD2 better? -- ABSOLUTELY. If I could only buy 1 -- IWD2 it would be. :D

    You could be waiting for over a year since now for the price on NWN to drop that much. It's selling too well to warrant any huge price drops.

    I actually somewhat enjoyed the SP campaign. While it's certainly not Baldur's Gate, it has a charm all its own. The only thing that stopped me from enjoying the game more than I did was all the bugs and problems that I was having with it. If you can live with that, this game is certainly worth buying.

    About the only game you mentioned that I would even consider buying is IWD2. PoR is just plain bad and DAoC is filled with powergamers. IWD2 is a good game, I just wish I had more time to play it.

    I was a bit disappointed with the single player campaign.The quests are a bit boring, running there,slash through lots of enemies, take quest items and give it to Aribeth or whatever then move on to next city or level.It kinda feels like Diablo 2 only with 3D models, D&D rules and less mouse clicking.The rest are just fine.
