If you didn't want or need multiplayer, the single player campaign was a letdown. The really cool thing about it is that it works with multiple players, so everyone can do all the quests (well, most of 'em) and such... but that by necessity makes it less epic, and makes it nigh-impossible for the focus to be on you. (A rare Jedi, the last Spirit Monk, etc.)That said, when BioWare realized how few people were using NWN for multiplayer, they tried to correct that with Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark. I personally am not in love with the follower stuff the way that I am with the followers on BG2 or KotOR, but the storyline of the campaigns for SoE and HotU are  (in my opinion) a ton stronger. (And while I work there, I had nothing to do with any of those games. I have no credits. I am new.)This is my source of concern, as somebody who really wants NWN2 to succeed. I came to BioWare because I love playing their games, and Obsidian is the only other company who makes games that way.It's fair to say that it's Lucas's fault and not Obsidian's, but at the end of the day, Obsidian released the game. They were not able to tell a powerful company to sit back and wait until the game was really done. That doesn't make it Obsidian's fault -- I've got friends who worked on KotOR II, and I know how much they hated releasing it like that -- but it does beg the question: did they stand up to Atari they way they didn't stand up to Lucas?</blockquote>
