I purchased the game two days ago. Right out of the box, there's problems. It installs fine, but I have to wait about five minutes for the game to just start. Once I start playing, it's fun and all, until it crashes or freezes. Which is very often, and I find that my last save usually isn't there or the game freezes when I try to load it, forcing me to start back at an earlier one, sometimes putting me hours behind. The patch did nothing to fix these problems, in fact, it simply made it worse. More frequent crashes. And the AI is questionable. Enough with the bad. When I can get it to work, the game is a blast, and immersive. The graphics are stuck in the past, but that's not really what the game is about. The story line is about on-par with that of the previous NwN games. Which is, pretty good. The whole party system / companion intercations are very similar to those of the Knights of the Old Republic games. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, unless you didn't like them. And it's an improvement over those of NwN1. In closing, when you can get the game to work, it's great. If you can't, it's ery frustrating. Hopefuly a new patch will be released that addresses these problems, since I've looked, and I'm not the only one with them.
