NWN2 Gold -- mostly better than original November 16, 2009
Karin R. Herrmann (Prescott Valley, AZ)
My computer pretty much meets the minimum specs for this game, but my processor speed is a little slow. I do have a quad-core processor which usually makes up for the speed requirement in games. Advertized minimum spec processor speed is 3.5 GHz, recommended 4 GHz. Amazon doesn't state this in the ad I recall reading, and it's a good idea for potential buyers to know.
The game experience is a different format than the original -- several new character classes, new customizing options. You don't choose in-game portraits yourself like in the original.
Gameplay experience is generally great, except for some periods of lag-like slowdowns I attributed to my slower processor. learning curve with party selection modes took some time.
The expansion "Mask of the Betrayer" gives more race/class options and ability options. I am impressed with the Planetouched races.
In the original NWN game I used to have a lot of trouble getting back to desktop and then returning to game [on returning to game, I was unable to use the mouse or any keys to progress further in the game]. This problem was never solved with any patches.
That problem doesn't exist in NWN2.

I bought the gold edition thinking all the bugs were fixed.
First I downloaded and installed a ton of extra patches that took so long, I just left the machine running for well over an hour (8mg download speed)
Then when creating characters, some of the bodies were missing. I loaded the game and would be just a floating head, or body with no head.
I deleted and reinstalled the game. I didn't patch it this time and everything appeared to work fine. I tried to complete the very first quest in the game and couldn't. Eventually I searched online and found that the first quest had a bug and you needed to download a patch to fix it. So I did that and then my head disappeared again, along with my armor etc.
In the end, the most satisfaction I got from the game is snapping it too pieces.
BIOWARE, please don't sell licenses to Obsidian, they SUCK
 more neverwinter nights. September 6, 2009

Gold includes the both the original game as well as the mask of the betrayer expansion.
The I recommend playing NW2, then Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir Expansion, then Mask of the Betrayer for reasons listed on the review for Zehir. Of the three games, Mask of the Betrayer is definitely the hardest.
One of the things that makes the Mask of Betrayer difficult is the Spirit meter. If you decide it's not worth playing with the Spirit Meter you can instantly reset it to 100 with the following cheat:

Overall I liked the story better than the original NWN, but not as much as the Bauldur's Gate series. NWN2 maxes at level 20, MoB at level 30. When given the chance I'd probably eat the bear if I played it again. There's lots of crafting in these games, but I was too lazy for that.
Please sir, can I have some more? July 27, 2009

Pros: The main quest has an awesome story, like it was part of NWN1. The character crator is nifty, the graphics are nice, I didn;t run into any bugs. BotB wasn't as interesting a story, but it gets points for being unique, you know, like getting to be a zombie-pirate in a NWN premium mod, only this one has portals & a parallel town, a bit like Silent Hill I suppose. What Obsidian & Ossian don't deliver in the way of premium mods can be aquired from the NWN2 Vault (user-made mods website),
Cons: The cons go to the other premium mods/expansion packs for NWN2 that aren't part of this package. They lack story & play more like Heroes of Might & Magic, only you can avoid the random encounters. Comparing them to NWN1's awesome extras is like comparing a pile of rocks to a plate of frash baked cookies. Mysteries of Westgate did finally come out (no thanks to Atari) but reviews clam that it plays just like Storm of Zahir. Concidering that BioWare turned it focus on Dragon Age after BotB came out, I'd say that the premium mods/expansions were an afterthought.
 Great customization -- but buggy gameplay makes it worthless July 25, 2009

Between bugged questlines, crash to desktop bugs, awkward camera angles, and poor overall execution, this game is not worth the hassle.
Instead on improving on the original NVN (which did have some areas that needed some improvement) the game fall short of the original. You might as well stick with NVN and play some player made content or the expansions - there is no reason to pay for this one.
