I recently picked up this relatively new title from Obsidian, and I have to say, the game has exceeded my expectations. For those of you who don’t know, Neverwinter Nights 2 is a game based on the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 ruleset. It isn’t an exact translation, but it is pretty close, and does a pretty good job of staying as true to the rules as possible. Obsidian is new to the block though, they kinda took over the Bioware line of games. So basically, they have a lot to live up to, Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights 1, for example. Anyway, I was pleasantly suprised by this game, as it took the things I loved about Baldur’s Gate and the things I loved about Neverwinter Nights and came to a happy medium.
