The thing that people forget tend to forget concerning the NWN games is that their main purpose was to give players powerful tools to create their own adventures on a computer game and play them with their friends. I personally didn't give that feature much of a try so I can't comment on how good it is. With that said, I did enjoy both NWN games, with the second one being better as far as story/characters go but with more technical problems. Then again, I played those campaigns in coop with my brothers so that does elevate the experience a little.
I do believe that calling them horrible games is wrong though. Sure they might not be on the same level as Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale or Torment, but that doesn't make them unplayable.
As for Divinity 2, I can't really say anything since I haven't played it yet. But I watched a few german videos and it does look fun. We just have to wait and hope. If its quality is anywhere near the original game's, it'll be great.
