Despite the fact that both games share the same name, I think the gameplay is very different, and you cannot really compare.
One is an Action rpg that you can play in coop MP, the other is a Party-based Crpg that you can play coop online. ¿Can you compare Total war: Warhammer with Warhammer: Vermintide? Two games based in the same world but with a very different approach.
It is normal for people to like one more than the other. I´ve played both games in sp and mp (even the original NWN).
In my case, I´m into strategy games and party based RPGs (The more the merrier). I like to have a band, a party or a legion I can manage, level up manually or equip. So to me, it will always be better for me the games Xcom, IWD, Fire Emblem, Mordheim, Mount&Blade, blackguards, Drakensang, Mass effect than others that could be good, but I do not like the mechanics, like Dragons dogma, Gothic, Darksiders, etc.
Logically, to me NWN2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>NWN1 in each and every aspect possible. The NWN OC is a borefest even in MP. Shadows and Hotu are better, fortunately. Persistant worlds are fun, but are made by modders. And the classes` balance... I just say there is a reason everybody is a weapon master at high levels.
Mask of the betrayer is one of the most compelling stories in a D&D game, besides bg and PST.
Storm of Zehir and the OC in NWN2 allow you more interaction with your companions and have some very interesting mini-game mechanics, like the party based MC, the merchant guild or the castle management that adds variety.
