Generally speaking, games that comes with construction set, tools and online playability sucks in terms of storyline.

Why? Because the game developers has given you all those tools and they expect you to create your very own storyline. It is too bad that not every one wish to be a Dungeon Master and some people (for example, me) would prefer to play the game as and when we have the time, therefore limiting our options to single player experience only.

Anyway, I have never owned NWN. But based on the reviews that I read earlier, I decided long ago that I wasn't going to buy that game because I have never fancied myself as a DM and never will be. If I am going to design my game scenario and come out with a kick*ss storyline, it is because someone is paying good money for me to do it.

Meanwhile, if I am expected to pay money for a CRPG game, I would expect the game developers to come out with something better than fancy weapons and plenty of blood and gore.
