[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3626188, member: 4134"] Too multiplayer focussed? How can a D&D game be too multiplayer focussed? In fact, I thought NWN2 wasn't nearly multiplayer focussed enough. The Official Campaign should be fully enjoyable with more than one human player. I'd have thought that the NWN series is quite popular. Speak for yourself. I know I liked the second movie, and while it's true that several games were crap (Pool of Radiance, ruins of third edition being the worst of the bunch), the NWN series are still among my all-time favourite PC games, and/or non-P&P roleplaying games. That's what I liked about it. NWN for me is the game that comes closer to capturing the spirit of D&D into a computer game than any other. Not necessarily the rules - let Temple of Elemental Evil keep that title and be happy with it - but how you play the game. D&D isn't meant to be played as a round-based strategy game where you pit your units against enemies. You're meant to play one character, and play him as a character, and let other human beings play the other characters.
