[quote=Lun-Sei Sleidee]On a side note, MY favorite rpg was Neverwinter Nights 2.... the main storyline was just very silly, but, the dialogues and party interaction were awesome.
You didn't mind the railway tracks? They frustrated the heck out of me! Too much 'go here, do this, then go there' with almost no room to do anything out of order. I hated that. HUGE improvement over the original (Completely execrable) NWN, I'll grant you, but I like to feel like I'm making the story, not that the story is making me.
Funny you should mention this. I have played NWN2 plenty (started it plenty anyway
) but always with a good character. I got bored and loaded it again recently, playing a shady, somewhat evil rogue type, goning the route of aligning with Axle and Moire. I was completely disappointed that I was still eventually awarded the Keep by Nasher. Not having read any storylines in the past on websites or what have you(I try to never do that), I was mildly PO'd. I thought I'd have to storm it and take it over in pursuit of the overall goal, and fend off the Greycloaks for the rest of the game. My point is, I should have seen it coming, given the parallels (railroad tracks)I had already encountered.
With all that aside though, I consider it a pretty decent game though. It sucked when it first came out, as buggy as it was, but I find it very playable now and fairly enjoyable. With the community and developer mods, and D&D party based rules, it still offers tons of variations for replayability.

Best cRPG of any type is still PS:T, IMO. Nothing since then has come close.
BG2 and PS:T are my all time faves.
