After playing NWN2 for a few days now, I can say that I really like it. I don't really see what all the hate is about; especially on the graphics. While I get a little bit of choppiness, all in all it runs smoothly. I had to turn X-Fire off and not run any apps in the background, but that is not a problem. The story is good and the characters are really enjoyable. The depth you can go to in character creation is incredible and somewhat staggering for people not used to the D&D 3.5 system. Best of all, there will soon be hundreds of modules to play so the adventure can continue indefinately (OK, so 90% of the mods will be awful...but there will be some stellar ones). The only weak points I have seen are: the sound isn't that great and rehashes a lot of sounds from NWN1; the AI for NPCs is sometimes dumb, but that can be taken care of by manually controlling them (which is easy to do); and it takes a little bit of tweaking to get the game running smoothly (I have a 2.8 pentium, 2 gig ram, and a 7600gt card and can run it on high settings with very slight choppiness[HINT: turn off background apps]).
If you liked the first NWN, you will like this one better.
