Neverwinter Nights - Why the love?

I like it and I’m not big on all the fancy schmancy games with the “this item gives you +2 charisma but only on a Tuesday with a full moon” type things. I just choose stuff and hope for the best.

The most annoying thing for me was when I walked into a room full of numerous nasties and decided it might be better to run away … er, make a hasty retreat in order to reassess my battle strategy, the stupid henchman would run in ahead of me and get himself killed before I could use the portal stone. The half-orc guy was good for that. Stoopid barbarian!

Just a sagging faith in the reliablity of Atari as a game manufacturer. They’ve had a lot of spotty releases lately, and are in some serious financial trouble. Game companies that are desperate for cash tend to rush product out the door as soon as possible, wether or not its ready, because they need the money to keep running. It’s not definite that NWN2 will suffer because of this, but it’s a very bad sign.
