Heck even myself and a few friends have been having consistent design meetings for our own original NWN2 persistent world. Of course, the above is a description of the first game but there are so many talented people chomping at the bit to make content for the new game, I have little doubt it'll be the same. Want to play with the same people every week through a guided multiplayer experience? Sure. Prefer a complicated role playing experience? No problem. Prefer tough hack and slash gameplay with a load of like minded cool people? Ok. But when you get into the multiplayer thats where the doors really open.
Loads of it both from official and 3rd party channels. If single player is your thing, thats there. And unlike a MMORPG or one of the many "sandbox RPGs" like Oblivion you are not tied to one world, one story, or even one development team's idea of how the game should play. Its a little gaming metaverse in & of itself.
It has truly turned into one of those few games that is pretty much all you need. The huge and dedicated community has created an absolutely insane amount of single and multiplayer content since the release of the original in 2002. But in addition to that, NWN includes very powerful content editors. They have the same lengthy single player or co-op official campaigns. In one sense, Neverwinter Nights is the modern equivalent of the old Black Isle developed PC RPGs like Baldur's Gate, Fallout & Icewind Dale. Note that I'm not trying to say anything about the relative quality of any of the games or below so please don't start an argument about it as in, "OMG NWN was crap compared to Baldur's Gate 2." If you're not sure what all the fuss is about this game, I'll have a go at summing up what makes Neverwinter Nights and likely this sequel, special. The game has gone Au and is looking like it'll hit its October 31st release date in the US.
