Is Neverwinter Nights 2 ORIGINAL CAMPAIGN Worth Playing in 2025? (100% Complete)

Описание: They say never meet your heroes—I say, think twice before replaying a game you loved back in the day. In this retrospective review, I dive deep into Neverwinter Nights 2, examining the Original Campaign in its raw, unenhanced state before the Enhanced Edition drops.

From clunky D&D 3.5 mechanics to broken pacing, questionable design, and a famously divisive ending, I revisit what made NWN2 memorable—for better or worse. We’ll talk story structure, companions (the good, the bad, and the downright annoying), modded vs vanilla gameplay, and why some fans still swear by it.

Whether you're a returning fan or someone curious about this cult classic RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, this video covers what you need to know before you reinstall—or walk away. If you’ve played Dragon Age: Origins, Baldur’s Gate, or Pathfinder: Kingmaker, there’s something here for you too.
