I can distinctly recall how utterly disappointed I was with that game. I loved the BG series so much, so I understandably had high expectations for NWN. The module creator was cool, but I still to this day am dumbfounded by how bad everything else was. Story, characters, map design, the abundance of dry fetch quests, the lack of a party… all so bad.

Unless you mean the expansions. I heard that those were better, but I never played them, so I don’t know. The base game left such a terrible impression that I had no interest in checking them out.

But I actually hate everything BioWare has done not called Baldur’s Gate, while everybody else loves KotoR, Mass Effect and Dragon Age, so what do I know? 🤷🏻‍♂️

It was the lack of a party and a deep story that killed me on NWN. Never even played NWN 2 because of it. IWD was ok but the dead pan party without any interactions/story elements was a let down for me. Planescape Torment was by far my favorite (after BG1/2 of course).
