Stolen Pixels #194: After Curfew, Episode 8

[Sampsa]

I like Stolen Pixels series but can someone elaborate what bugs and unfinished plot threads there are in NWN2?

...and - gasp - the ability to actually botch a character build.

Honestly, how is this even remotely a good thing? Is it so bad to let people enjoy RPG's who maybe aren't so good at building up a character? Is it so bad to let people build the character they want to build, and not one of the several characters that will be successful?

It is a good thing because it makes character creation meaningful. When all characters have an equally good chance at anything, regardless of stats, the stats lose their meaning. In fallout 3 the stats were made almost meaningless, skill points were the the only thing that mattered (although they didn't matter all that much either) and those were showered on you like rain. Obsidian will hopefully make a system where stats actually matters.

The KOTOR2 comment ("the first half") made me sad in my eyes.
