Very subjective question obviously. For me, the single player campaign was a bitter disappointment compared to the consistent brilliance of the infinity engine games. Slightly clunky interface, overly combat heavy, limited party and strategic options due to the 'henchmen' concept, which was such a drop down from the roleplaying/interactive npc feast of the BG series.
It still had its enjoyable moments - I had alot of fun with the prologue/first chapter of Shadows of Unrentide which featured generally more roleplaying, more options and quests and not at a ridiculously high level. Playing all three single campaigns (NWN, SoU, HotU) is not as big an undertaking as it might sound - I did all three in less than a month with three different characters. Doing it this way makes more sense to me, rather than importing the same powergaming character each time, since the plots aren't terribly well connected.
However, I've not tried it multiplayer to be honest - I know I'm probably missing out!
But the more I visit Ironworks and see Zirocs Undermountain mod forum still going strong, I'm tempted to try it out!
Thus in short: I'd give it a shot just to see what you think. The availablity of mods for the game is veritably huge. I even saw a remake of Ultima 4 a while back! (one of my all time faves) [img]smile.gif[/img]
