First, thank you Lone Scout for Fallout NV.
NWN2 didn't work too well on my 2009 computer, apparently my graphics card (an ATI Radeon 3450) wasn't good enough because when I had to get a new one (found a Radeon 6400 for $35 on ebay. I didn't want to spend a lot of money fixing a 10 year old computer, but wanted a card equal or better to what I had) for that computer it worked better. As such I never really finished NWN2 until after the upgrade, which was in 2019, almost 10 years after getting the game.
That said, once I had a good enough graphics card (you CAN play it on an ATI Radeon 3450 at minimum settings but the game is slightly choppy) the game was actually pretty good. Almost as good as NWN1, but I found the way they redid the mini-map and the camera controls to be inferior to NWN1. The mini-map was harder to read, and the camera was more frustrating. If they had kept those the same the game could have been as good or better than NWN1.
There are quite a few fan-made modules worth playing. Many are as good or better than the official "premium modules", but finding them on the Vault is like finding a needle in a Haystack. Sturgeon's Law applies, just like on Fanfiction.net. I know there were several threads with recs on Sorcerer's Place, but I can only find one quickly:

BlueMooner: Are either of you still playing it? I enjoyed it back in the day but mostly only played the main campaign, not mods. NWN2 left a very bad taste in my mouth, turning me off the NWNs altogether.
Not since the pandemic in 2020, but that's in part because of the latest giveaways and going back to work. I've been playing new (or new to me) games since last year.
