It already was on Steam a long time ago and got delisted. It is doubtful it will be back anytime soon unless Hasbro decides it might be able to make some money again but that probably would not happen till some sort of remaster would be done for consoles.

Many are probably hoping that the new renderer coming for the first game will improve the overall look of the game like the proof of concept models Beamdog released but since it was only those 2 character models and some HD weapons so far with no new pictures since it is really hard to say what we may actually get.

As Owen said it used to be available on Steam, but was taken down around 2013 for unknown reasons (probaly licensing issues or something like that). Considering what a broken mess NWN2 is, it seems very unlikely it will ever reappear unless another studio decides to pick it up and give it a good overhaul.

It was removed from Steam around the same time that Infogrames/Atari declared bankruptcy (same week IIRC) so it's removal is probably related to that. You can still get it on GoG and apart from having to install a patch to fix walk stuttering, it runs great.

Indeed NWN2 was a broken mess in every way.

The only broken thing I encountered back then was the party AI not responding and that's pretty much it.

I find it hard to believe that's the only problem you ever encountered considering how many times I managed to completly break the platinum edition and had to start all over or replay entire areas because a script wouldn't trigger. That said I did enjoy Storm of Zehir alot, but that expansion was also more or less glitch free.

I've never had any troubles with scripts not triggering, whether it was the original release or the GoG version. At least not for any of the official campaigns (sometimes you have to debug community mods, but that's true for NWN as well). Optimization problems, sure, but they're less of an issue on a modern system.

Hey NWN2 was a great game! I never encountered many bugs either, and I love all the downloadable fan made modules... heck I think I'm about to play Baldur's Gate on NWN2 right now, lol

NWN 2 was a great game. I think NWN was one of the worst of that era of D&D games - perhaps only Heart of Winter in Icewind Dale - the laziest game ever - was worse.

S.x.

I see you never tried using NWN2 editor to make your own mod.
You'd be singing a different tune right now ;)

I was marking the games on their original campaign. I heard the NWN expansions were good. But the main NWN campaign is just formulaic fetch quests. What was really disappointing was that you only had one character and the single NPC was poor. After the delights of the Baldur's Gate Trilogy it was a bit of a disappointment.

S.x.

The games to remake in Dragon Age game Engine for all the NWN games! 20 years ago graphic is really horrible! But it was the imagination back then that make it great!

NWN 2 was garbage, this version is 10x better

Original and best

My two cents regarding the bugs of NWN 2...

Honestly, seems to be one of those 'feast or famine' things depending on your system and all sorts of factors. I've replayed the game + expansions about 3-4 times, and barely had a crash or two.

My brother installed the base game once near launch, and it nearly bricked his system. Had to do a full windows reinstall.

Love it that game to bits, warts and all, but that's the pattern I've heard among other players too. Either they get one or two little problems barely worth mentioning... or it's a road-trip to hell and back while bugs pop up like grass after rain. Nothing in between.
