Hey, Adamo, I'll try to give you a few but it has been a long time since I played:

1. This RPG is NOT like what you got out of BG2. Many didn't like the Original Campaign (the beginning story) at all. Some found it boring. Personally I liked it but I found the expansion packs significantly more enjoyable.

2. Don't expect a party based game like in the Baldur's Gate series. You can have only one partner at a time. I will say that you should try all the henchmen available. They all have their strengths and weaknesses and they all have a story to tell and a personal quest to meet. Here is something really important: If you don't engage them in Chapter 1 and utuilize them you will not be able to finish their quests. Dialogue is critical so enage as you go in Chapter 1. They have to learn to trust you.

3. Play whatever class/race you like but Clerics really rock BIG TIME. My butt was saved more times than I can count when I could call in an additional helper like a celestial wolf. Clerics can wear armor, use some nasty weapons, and have both defensive and offensive spells.

4. Where NWN really shines is online play and the community of mod builders that are free to download and play to your heart's content. Truly, there are modules out there that are better than what Bioware made they are that good. And, again, they are free!

5. You should try Ziroc's own Undermountain module. From what I hear it is nasty but great.

6. Have fun, don't be in a hurry, pay attention to detail and conversations.

Hope this helps.
