Someone on the official forums wrote this and it about sums up where i'm at...
"-Character creation has more depth, which is crucial in D&D. -Good cutscene mechanics. -Nice graphics, even if my comp struggles -Pretty good music -personaly I like the BG feel Cons: (with more detail) -Movement animations are below NWN1 standard, both in and out of combat, running looks silly, and you can't clearly see what combat actions are being performed. -Camera is poor, but I got use to it. -Property commands are also below NWN1 standard, having to right click and pick from a menu for everything is outdated and slows down the gameplay a lot. -AI is pretty weak, my party members don't always follow me, they sometimes just stand there for no reason. The behaviour options really need to be improved also, in conjunction with the weak second mouse button menu, controlling your party is terrible imo. You have to do a bunch of mouse combinations just to have one of your party members scout ahead while the rest STAND PUT. Don't expect them to come helping you when you are attacked without having to pause and issue more clunky commands. -the inventory system is also outdated, why not have a sorting button? -The quickslot isn't very quick, you cave to right click on many items then get to more menus to cast item abilities. Also, clicking on a item in the quickslot doesn't equip/uniquip without more right mouse button menue searching. Lastly, you can't seem to be able to stack two hand items in the same slot. -PLayer voices really should be updated, I was quite disappointed to hear so many from NWN1. -Where is the time and the date on the HUD...?"

I still can't patch the game, like a number of others with the DVD version. Some tips on that link which might work for you - they haven't for me so far.
The game's still playable without the patch, mind you. |

Here's a possible fix to the patcher issue which might work for some people.

I have managed to patch the game finally - it's definitely to do with space. I made sure I had at least 10GB free (because apparently the patcher creates all these temp files) and was able to patch.

I am rather unimpressed by NWN2. Graphics are dull and the mod file size is huge. Also the amount of CPU, RAM, and HD space required are well out of proportion.

I slowed the turn rate down quite a bit and that has been an amazing change. I still have troubles with the ANGLE changing when I mouse to the top and bottom of my screen. This isn't the only game I own that does that. It's just that I keep having MY expectations from the other games influencing what I do with THIS game. OTOH, the camera work for NWN2 is already superior to initial release NWN1 and I'm pefectly sure I'll get used to it.

I'm enjoying the game, (and it patched fine on my DVD version), but it's just so SLOW. I have an Athlon X2 3800+, 2 GB of RAM and a 7900 GT... Yet the frame rate is less than 30, with all settings turned off, at 1280 x 1024.
Now I can understand that the 7900 GT isn't bleeding edge anymore, but come on!? If I enable ANY settings, the game becomes almost unplayable, at 10-15 FPS, and even on the max settings, it's not like the game is beautiful. I also tried the game on my laptop, a Sony Vaio with the Core Duo T2400 (1.83 GHz), 1 GB of RAM, and a GeForce Go 7400, and it simply cannot run. At 800 x 600, with all details off, and every option at its lowest setting, the game is still too jerky and unresponsive to play. Now this laptop wasn't ever going to be a powerhouse gaming machine, but it should be able to play it at some level shouldn't it? [ 11-09-2006, 01:27 AM: Message edited by: Callum ]
