Neverwinter Nights 2 returns you to the Forgotten Realms, one of the popular campaign settings of Dungeons and Dragons. Emerge from the tiniest of villages into a sweeping tale of danger and war, chronicling your rise from a peasant to a full-fledged hero of the Realms. The story takes place several years after the original Neverwinter Nights, and reintroduces popular characters and NPCs in a new storyline with new challenges.
Amazon.com Product Description
For those of you unfortunate enough not to be familiar with the first Neverwinter Nights, Neverwinter Nights 2 is a massive D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) style role-playing game set in the fantasy world of the Forgotten Realms. Neverwinter Nights 2 combines an epic single-player campaign that makes you work through three complete stories and features online play and a robust module-making editor. As a single player, you'll be swept from the tiniest of villages into a tale of danger and war, where you'll eventually rise from a peasant to a full-fledged Hero-of-the-Realms. 
In this epic sequel, character development has improved dramatically. View larger. | 
The new graphics engine is absolutely amazing. View larger. | 
If you are interested in having adventures, look no further than Neverwinter Nights 2. View larger. | One of the biggest areas of improvement in Neverwinter Nights 2 is with character development. Armor is made up of many different segments, allowing for an impressive assortment of characters that let you make better use of more available graphics. Build whatever character best suits your style of play -- good or evil, chaotic or lawful -- with any number of skills, feats and professions. Whether you like lobbing fireballs and researching forgotten spells as a powerful Wizard, hacking head-on through innumerable orcs as a Fighter, or slipping unnoticed through the shadows as a Rogue, you'll be able to create a character that's perfect for you. What's more, the races of Neverwinter Nights all have sub-races as well, which will add a great deal of replay value as you progress. You can also choose character histories now, each of which provide different bonuses and change how others interact with you in the game world. And while you may already have an idea of what kind of character you want to play, Neverwinter Nights 2 includes a handy "recommended" option for those players who would rather let the game customize a character just for them. Another major enhancement is with the addition of companions. In Neverwinter Nights, you just hired henchman, and they did things for you that you didn't really have any control over. You'll have complete control over the companions you attain in Neverwinter Nights 2, and they'll remain integral to the story -- they will travel and fight with you, and some may even fall in love with you or betray you. The game follows standard D&D alignment conventions, keeping track of your morality throughout the game. Depending on whether the actions you perform are good or bad, how those around you relate to you will gradually shift, which is especially significant where the members of your party are concerned. There is even an influence system similar to the one in Knights of the Old Republic 2 that allows you to gradually redeem, or corrupt, your party members through your actions. Design the character you want and choose your alignment, your allies, your companions, and how you want your character to develop, and then carry the battle to your enemies. Without spoiling the ending, the whole experience leads up to a cool plot twist and a massive battle that sets up the third and final act. The new graphics engine is absolutely amazing, depicting all the fancy worlds, beautiful mapping, dynamic lighting, per-pixel lighting and more. And the multiplayer characters have been given an increase in their ways of communication with one another. And when you cast a spell effect, the other players won't have to read something to find out what you just cast -- they'll know right away and will know how to react. Neverwinter Nights 2 also gives you the tools you need to build your own modules, campaigns, and adventures for your friends. You can move buildings, alter terrain, script encounters, write dialogues, or create quests and items in order to create an epic adventure for you, or any other worldbuilder, to use. So if you are interested in having adventures, or building adventures of your own, you need look no further than Neverwinter Nights 2.

 Best Neverwinter Nights game ever! September 5, 2008
Res ipsa loquitur - (San Francisco, CA USA)
Best Neverwinter Nights Game in the series! Interesting and compelling story line. Neat character classes and skills upgrade that makes you want to keep playing to level-up. This is turn-based RPG game play in the style of D&D at its best. I would give it 5star if the software wasn't so demanding on the PC...unless u have a pretty good PC (VERY good graphics card, lots of ram - much more than the 'minimum' they say), this game will not run very smoothly or look pretty on your PC.

The game itself looks awsome from the previews I have seen and I have played the prior released games. But this game is so NOT compatible with my new computer that I would have to pay $[...] more to upgrade a new computer to be able to play. That was a big disappointment itself. Why would anyone make a game that is so uncompatible with computers. It would download, but I could not play the game at all.

 Not an improvement over NWN, not as fun as BG July 31, 2007

I feel like this game reached its height of fun with Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2. Since then its gone down hill. At least you can play with more chars in your group in NWN2 and have more control over them than NWN. However, even though NWN2 has taken some power away from the fighter types compared to NWN (no more devastating critical), it still seems like magic is MUCH less important in these games than in BG. Also, to me a lot of the fun comes from controlling the leveling of several different kinds of characters, but there are many limits on this in NWN2 (limited number of custom characters, few choices on classes to level chars to, etc.). If you haven't played BG, get that at a bargain price instead.
 Best games ever, but July 27, 2007

Dungeons & Dragons role playing computer games are the greatest ever. But unfortunately I found out my video card would not work with the game after I bought it and failed to run it. To bad I will miss out on NWN2.
