Mask of the Betrayer, Storm of Zehir, and Mysteries of Westgate expansions included!

Neverwinter Nights 2: Complete, the ultimate edition of Obsidian's RPG set in the all time favorite Dungeons & Dragons setting, the Forgotten Realms, is now available 25% off on GOG.com. That's $14.99, this week only.

Ah, Forgotten Realms, after all the days we've spent treading your paths, you seem like home. Whenever the world around us seems oppressive and dark, whenever life gets us down--our mind escapes to your green fields, your rocky mountains, your lush forests. We cherish the memories of our bold ventures into your deep undergrounds, filled with dangerous beasts and traps, yet luring us with promise of great riches and unsurpassed power. We still tremble at the thought of the vengeful gods and goddesses that toy with the fates of your inhabitants, and the perplexing magic that fills you to the brim. We fondly remember the long evenings spent in the warmth and security of your many taverns and inns, where a single conversation could usher us into a new quest. Now comes the time to visit you once more.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Complete revisits many of the iconic locations known from previous D&D computer RPGs, and adds even more--all in a beautifully rendered environment. The game has been praised for faithfully executing the D&D 3.5 ruleset, delivering a captivating story and vivid characters, and vastly improving the visuals in comparison to its predecessor. With four full campaigns and adventure sets to embark upon, a set of tools to create your own adventures, and fully patched and ready to go, this is the version you just can't afford to miss!

Can you hear it now? Can you hear the rattling of D20 dice rolling? That's the sound of adventure! Tag along, get Neverwinter Nights 2: Complete, for only $14.99 until Thursday, January 31, at 10:59AM GMT.

RafaelLopez: Can anyone tell me wether this is a solo adventure or party-based?
Well, I can see multiple character portraits down the side of the screen shots! ;)

It's like BG, as in you create only one PC, but ultimately control a party of up to 4 from about 8 companion NPCs.
I'd say that it's easy enough as a game you could probably solo it if you wanted, but unfortunately the game doesn't even give you that choice, at least for the OC, and party members will be forced on you most of the time.

Miaghstir: Can you play The Witcher? It uses a modified version of the same engine so it should provide at least a rough estimate on how NWN2 runs.

Leroux: To my knowledge The Witcher is based on the Aurora engine of NWN by BioWare, not on Obsidian's NWN2. It's not necessarily a good indication of whether you'd be able to run any of them though. I can run NWN just fine, while the Witcher is terribly laggy for me even on the lowest settings, NWN2 ran okay but not great with my old GeForce 7300LE, worse with my current onboard graphic card, but community modules were unplayable due to lag.

Generally, from I've read NWN2 can be a bitch to run even on hig end PCs with modern graphic cards; it sounds like it's a bit of a gamble. Maybe it will run fine, maybe it won't. It was criticized a lot for its demanding system spec and doesn't seem to be known for the most effective use of resources.
Ah, right. Both The Witcher and Neverwinter Nights 2 uses updated versions of Aurora, Bioware decided to call their updates and modifications "Electron" rather than keep the name "Aurora" like CDPRed did though.

And other than in NWN, you have full control over them regarding combat and inventory as if they were your PCs, too. That is, you have the choice whether to give orders to them or just let them follow their autoscripts.Unless I'm mistaken, I think you can also switch who to control in combat, that is, you could play one of your party members as if it was your PC and let your PC be controlled by the computer in the meantime.

Was waiting for this one to show up here to do another playthrough, downloading it now.

Ah, finally.

I already own this, but if it gets a -75% sale I'll buy it for Mysteries of Westgate.

Mindblown.

Very nice seeing NWN2 come to GOG. Even though I already have NWN2 and all of its expansions, I'll probably still pick up the GOG version simply for the sake of having a single, simple installer complete with all updates (seriously, whoever designed the updater for NWN2 needs to be beaten, repeatedly).

That is exactly what I wanted, as this was a main problem of NWN 1 for me. D&D is party-based, period!

Yeah, that's why I wanted to ask. NWN 1 was mainly solo, with a single companion.

Then perhaps this looks A LOT like Baldur's Gate, aka my favorite kind of RPG. :-D

This is VERY wishlisted. :)

Neverwinter Nights 2 was already DRM free. GOG just keeps releasing games already DRM free, but this is a good way to get it, and at a cheap price, so that's cool.

For some reason people always talked bad about Neverwinter Nights 2. I thought it was a great game, way better than the first, and way better than nearly every single new RPG that's come out in the last years. Maybe I'm just more into computer RPG's than console ones.

The thing I remember most from the game's story is Sand, and that woman always being attacked and her house being set on fire, ha, that's just hilarious.

tburger: At some point yes...As for now I'll skip.

So no Bard's Tale today?
avatar
TheEnigmaticT: This game, I would note, lets you determine the utter uselessness of a bard as a player class. We head-faked you.
You head-faked me as well :)

Holy mother of never-ending glory! YES!!!! I was waiting for this game since the first one appeared here, knowing this one HAD to come eventually. So I was patiently observing from afar. Not anymore :)

Expecto Instabuy-orum !

Glad to have this collection here, it' has been on the wishlist for some time. Now GOG, when you can, get the missing Premium modules for the first game.

Hmm, I was wondering about this. The DRM for the original game and the two expansions was patched out, but what about MoW? Could this be the first time it's been released without any DRM?

That's good news but full retail is $20? That seems off for an 7 year old game... it should be in the 10$ tier.

KainKlarden: P.S. One minor thing - if my memory is correct, before being pulled from Steam, this release dropped it's price to 9.99. So i'ts a bit strange to see it back at 19.99 here. It's obviously cool to have it DRM-free and with soundtracks, but it's still a tiny bit strange.
I guess Hasbro is taking advantage of the fact the game hasn't been available on most major on demand services for a long long time.
