NWN2 - Reviews @ Fragland & GameShark

More NWN2 reviews continue to come in at a brisk pace with Fragland and GameShark offering the latest to offer opinions.  Let's kick off with Fragland, who scored Obsidian's game at 85%:

On top of that you can make real choices during conversations, tell NPC's and people from your party to shut the hell up or decide to follow their advise, and these decisions will have repercussions on the rest of the game, both in short (fist in your face) and long term (team mate gets fed up with you and leaves). It's been already quite some time since we've been emerged like this in the storyline of a single player campaign, one that will even cluster you to the screen for a couple of dozens of hours.

...while GameShark awarded a 'B':

It was a smart move to take the design of the sequel and back up a bit. This is an old-fashioned party based adventure, which is really what most RPG fans, and particularly what D&D fans, want to play. The original Neverwinter Nights was a focused on your lone hero. You would get an occasional brain dead henchman to follow you around but you were more or less on your own. The new game allows you to take several NPCs along for the ride from a fisticuff-loving Dwarf fighter, a Tiefling rogue, a Gnome bard (seriously) and even a farm-gal turned warrior. There's a good mix of NPCs that you meet on your adventure and best of all is that you have complete control over them in how they fight and which skills and feats they acquire as they gain levels.
