Just got it as a birthday present. ;D
NWN1 held my attention for years, hopefully this one won't be a dissapointment.

Well, I found NWN1 to be an absolute gobbler of a game, and oddly, I'm enjoying NWN2 very much. It improved all the things it had to improve. No more crappy story (find the four animals, how gay), no more cardboard henchmen without a shred of personality, it's a very good game.

It took me one weekend of straight playing to beat NWN2. It felt much shorter than the first one, but better in many fields. The best part is when you get your castle!

Yep, but it really IS good. I never thought I'd say that about a game that came out after Bloodlines which I always considered the Last Awesome Game.

My save file got corrupted when I was 9 Warlock, 2 Rogue. Very sad. It was just before the duel after the trial, too! Oh well. Being a warlock is boring anyway. I'll start again as hammer-smashing Half-Orc instead of a puny Half-Elf. Nothing but Intimidation and bulging muscles, baby!

I like how that when you have a lot of heroes in your party you can put them in the Tavern and they will train up. It's annoying when you need a hero and they are level 4 or something and everyone is level 20.

It autosaved past the corruption point. Which is why you need to make permanent saves every now and then

Me and one of my friends discussed NWN2 in choir ... and we had this song where we're talking to the rest of the basses and we're all, pretend youre a paladin, cuz Mr CD (director) thought it should sound more monkish but we thought it should sound more bold. So we put our hands on invisible greatswords in front of us, and it looked like we were in a jack-off position. . Twas akward.

Yeah! I just got my Stronghold too If you want it to not suck, follow these steps: 1) Keep recruitment standards on highest 2) Do nothing but train until your soldier training is "Best of Best" NOT just best. 3) Go to Old Owl Well with Casavir and recruit Katriona as a seargent. 4) Have her recruit and tell your soliders to recruit. 5) Repeatedly exit and enter the building until it says you cannot recruit any more then set them on whatever you want them to do. 6) If you've done this right and you're lucky you can have thousands of soldiers - YES, thousands. Also, here are some major spoilerific things that will help you: Seargents1. Katriona 2. Light of Hopes - beat her in combat in the Merchant Quarter, in Port Llast, then in the farms outside your stronghold. She is best in recruiting. 3. Bevil - You automatically get him in act 3. He's best on road patrolls. 4. The bodyguard guy - When you get ambushed by the luskan chick, offer him twice the money she pays and make sure he doesn't die. Merchants1. Deekin, the kobold in the merchant quarter. He requires a trade building. 2. The drow chick. Free her from the fire giants in Act 3. Also requires the trade building. 3. Weaponsmith is in the fort you go to early in the game. He requires a smithy. 4. Armor smith is in the town where you get on the boat to neverwinter. Needs his smithy to be built. Misc recruits1. The travelling guy. Meet him at the bonegnasher approach, the githyanki base approach, and ember and he will appear in the room up the stairs from the basement. You get very good gifts if you tell him about places you've gone to, but you have to go there first. It'll tell you when you've been somewhere he'd like to know about. 2. The spider. In duskwood, kill the werewolf children and take their bug collection. Go the caves under Ember, find the spider, and feed them to her. She'll go to your basement and will make you a purdy cloak. 3. The dancing chick. She's in the merchant quarter, near the park. 4. Morphias appears in your basement eventually. DO NOT TRUST HIM. He will steal the most valuable thing in your inventory. Building ChoicesThese aren't important until Act 3. 1. Church or monastery. Church is generally for goodies, and monastery is more expensive and for baddies. The monastery gives a quest to monk characters. 2. Tower of Nine or Wizard's Tower. Tower of Nine sells some kickass armor and weapons. The wizard's tower can only be built after you talk to the dude who teleports in front of it and he gives wizards a quest. Enjoy And, no, I didn't copy this - I just wrote it all from memory.

I also immediately knew I had to recruit the dancing chica, but I didn't get the dialog option to recruit her. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Have you talked to the guy in the tavern?
Also, there are four locations Gurveyn will want to hear about - to avoid the game bugging, talk to him after each one. 1. Nevereath - exit 2. Fire giant mountain - by the boulders you can push 3. Ammon Jerro's lair - entrance 4. Wenersnaven lairl.
Oh, and here's a nifty glitch: in act 3, you loose acess to most places but keep acess to Ember. Go there, go through the caves, and go out in Duskwood. You can now go everywhere in Act 2.

Heh, cool.
Yeah, I talked to Sal, but I still didn't get the dialog option. Now that I'm in Act 3, it might be different. I never found that traveller dude either, at least not that I can recall. But that's no biggie.
That Light of Hopes character doesn't ring a bell either, but I'll probably encounter her in the future.
Lastly, don't you mean Mephasm instead of Morphias?

The corruption has spoiled my taste for the main story for now.

LMAO, yes mephasm - nice call, there. I'd leave my house if I found morphias in the basement.

Woot! I beat it just now.
I don't like the still-shot cutscenes with narration at all. Oh well.
