As for NWN2... what exactly did you like about that game? I'm a big fan of NWN, the original game is still one of my favorite games ever...
Well, I didn't think there was someone who actually thought the story of NWN was better than the story of NWN2. o_O; NWN's main plot was awful, in my opinion, it was like the basic story of a kid's cartoon. Now, a little kid maybe could find that plot vaguely interesting, but how about an adult?
NWN2's plot, while it too was very silly on its premise (chosen hero against generical big evil), managed to compensate it with the great dialogues and interactions. It's like the main plot there was merely the excuse for all the events, the emotions, the drama, etc.
I still agree about how the game was buggy, had bad AI, somewhat disappointing graphics, etc. etc. Everything, but the voiceacting - at last some of that voiceacting wasn't bad at all; I really liked Sand's and Bishop's a lot, for example.
And still, what can I say? With all its evident flaws, NWN2 really managed to involve me like no other rpg. I don't know how it managed to do so; maybe it was the good writing so that even the stupidest, useless and most pretentious thing a character would say, ended up seeming so charming.
And for some reason, it's really the only rpg in which above all others I felt I was playing MY own character. Morality, decisions, and all.
Drakensang doesn't come even close to that - it doesn't give you even the slightest superficial hint of choices, morality, decisions, or deep party interactions.
