In seeing the other reviews I'm sure you are aware of the huge machine requirements and the equally large amount of bugs in this game.  While I didn't find either to be a game stopping problem, I have to admit that it was aggravating at times.  More notably, the patch caused so many other bugs that I had to play the original install errors and all.

The storyline is better than the previous game, and it does look a bit nicer.  Not up to par with what it requires to run it, but I would score it with Titan Quest in looks.

Many reviewers complained about the camera in this game and while I admit I was moving and adjusting it constantly, I recall doing the same thing in the first game.  The only gripe I had about the camera was that it swivels the opposite direction of what one would expect.  An annoyance yes, but nothing to make me thrown down the keyboard in frustration and stomp away crying about it.

In all honesty, I found this game to be more enjoyable than NWN 1.  If you recall, the original didn't get good until the Hordes of the Underdark expansion and even that paled in comparison to the incredible fan created modules such as the HEX Coda.

The huge amount of bugs and subpar graphics operating under a staggering system requirement list give this a game a rating of 3 stars.  Perhaps Obsidian (as they did for Knights of the Old Republic 2) with release a working patch of bug fixes and optimizations soon.  If and when this happens, I fully expect this game to make it just as big as the first.
