Agree. At the beginning of the game all this stuff is very exciting but later the story gets irritating and even annoying. There are too many factions and NPCs. Even NWN 2 did it better in my opinion. But this is because today normal down to earth stories are not enough anymore. It is also not enough to have normal DnD classes you have to be a kind of superhero. So we got the annoying octopus powers. The whole story feels ridiculous for a level 12 party. PF:WotR is even more crazy but in this game you are a demigod later (as well as lvl. 20).
Still reading through the comments but stopped here for a bit. NwN2 had a bland basic story, what was great about the game was the companion interactions (like dragon age 1) & community tools to make your own story. The first expansion did redeem the game though for campaign.
