Neverwinter Nights 2 released

[Keba]

Really? My favorite character for NWN1 was magic-user specialized in necromancy. The first few levels were challenging, but she was devastatingly powerful later on...

Oh, that doesn't mean I didn't play a mage, rogue or any class, really. I did, I just found it a lot less fun that it would have been with a party. That, and having only one person to converse with left out all the party banter that I came to love so much in Baldur's Gate 2.

Now, if only the damned shops here get this, finally. Last time it took them two months.

Hordes of the Underdark gave you an extra companion for a total of three party members, and countless mods give you multiple companions. It's amusing to see the witless and witty conversations and rebukes between your henchmen, especially between Deekin and both Arabeths.
