Yes it is.
I purchased the game because I wanted a nice RPG, not a hollow vessel for modding or Online play. I visited the Bioware Boards almost religiously until it came out and was promised a great story a la Baldur's Gate series. Instead I got a quickly coughed-up random-tool-generated dungeon of immense proportions. I found only Pool of Radiance to be crappier.

Certainly, certainly, certainly does NWN contain an excellent tool for creating dungeons and individually modded adventures. Hat's off there. But there isn't a heck of a lot more there.

There are so many persistant worlds that go way beyond the incuded story. I tried some of them, its kinda like playing a MMO w/out subscription fee. I kinda like the view perspective in those games too.

NWN is not a persistent world, nor is it an MMO. Almost anyone at Bioware and all of the fans on the Bioware site will toss flames at you for saying otherwise. (who cares -- but I agree with them that it isn't an MMO)

NWN left such a bad taste in my mouth during my SP experience that I couldnt even bear to touch it for any MP experimentation.
