I must admit I was kinda skeptical when I heard the hyped up "The game that revolutionizes RPG's" so I held off buying it to see what other people thought.
From reading the reviews plus some of the posts here it seems NWN's is nothing it was cracked up to be. I mean the critics are always harsh but some of the reviews I read were terrible - there seems to be a general air of dissapointment with this game.

I really hoped this would be a good game and really thought the theory of what they were creating here was cool. It's been months now and the closest I came to owning NWN's was when a friend offered to give it to me for free as he too said he didn't like it and still I haven't gotten round to telling him to go ahead and post it! Its weird but from what i've seen I don't feel like i'm really missing out on anything.

I'm thinking the sequel or second game in this genre will be a big improvement -I mean we have all seen BG1 compare to BG2 - they do listen to feedback and make the right changes, guess it's a case of waiting it out till they really start perfecting what they are trying to do here.
