its not fair to critique NWN on its story. That wasn't the main focus of that project. 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 a good game and a worthy successor to baldurs gate 2 no doubt . and only the story of the normal nwn isn't that good the stories of shadows of undernzit and hordes from underdark are much better .

but all in all it isn't as addicting to me than diablo 2 and diablo 2 lod was . i never played a mod though so a question :
can you mod characters too ? i mean new skills , spells and so on ?

cause if not i think although very well implemented the d&d system is still a bit boring and unbalanced .
if you pvp versus a mage he kills you with isaacs greater missile storm . i think there was no resistance for this in nwn .
playing pvm is in the long run very boring too i think cause even when you only play in a team of 2 a mage and a fighter it is boring since you kill almost everything without real threats.

in diablo 2 unique monsters with "lucky" picks in their skills like the multiblitzers could still sometime kill you . when you had good enough equipment even baal was not difficult but in 1 of 50 or 100 tries you still could die .
the main motivation from diablo is almost lacking in nwn : that you always could find one more kickass item and trading was really cool too before all the tradehacks and dupes came .
and pvp was funnier in diablo 2 too
