It's just BAD programming and design. There must be a memory leak too.
And I can run Battlefield 2142 with all setting MAXXED, and that game has higher requirements than Oblivion!
This is one big reason PC Games are dying. Dev's release unfinished crap....

I would suggest you stop over-relying on the negative nabobs in gaming forums so much. Every game that gets released will have its crowd of idiots who'll lie and pontificate and trash the game because it doesn't meet their personal gaming-wackoff fantasy. Somethem regardless of not having actually played it, but because a "friend of a friend" said so.
My experience is that people with these problems usually have crappy (cheap) equiment, too much crap going on in their system, or equipment that's in a marginal failure state. [/QUOTE]Nicely said on BOTH counts DraconisRex. I'm running NWN2 on max settings with a Falcon Mach V, 3.2 Ghz P4, 1 GIG ram and a nVidea GeForce 7800 GT 256 MB PCIE at 1200 x 1084 with all settings on MAX. So far the game has run like a champ for me.
I've been following the frame rate slowdown issue at the NWN2 forums and DR is right; most people who have reported the problem have unsupported video cards, or cards at the very low end of the supported list. Issues around xFire (and apparently Vista as well) have been solved. There are some folks who SHOULD have been able to play the game that couldn't and the latest nVidea drivers have worked miracles in solving most of those slowdown problems.
I won't presume to debate whether NWN2 is a true sequel to NWN1. But issues around the toolset and dmclient NOTWITHSTANDING, NWN2 is an AWESOME game. Yes the camera view is a bit twitchy, but its more than functional - it just takes a little getting used to. And I actually prefer the new UI, including the quickcast spell bar, as opposed to that circle (jerk) radial wheel nonsense of NWN1. Spellcasting in NWN2 is MUCH easier. Yes, there are still some issues around the quickslot menus, but those are minor and they are being fixed. My only BIG complaint is that the NPC AI is still substandard - but it is WAY better than the NPC AI in NWN1 by a LONG shot.
This game has a very, VERY well done single player campaign. It's very detailed, offers tons of NPC interactions including some very detailed dialogue strings, quests (at least so far) actually seem to advance the plot (instead of the old FedEx quests - although there ARE a couple of those). Again it's a great game. [img]smile.gif[/img]
