Thinking of picking up NWN 2 soon because I'm having a D&D craving that can't be sated irl, so a friend and I wanna do the co-op because I remember seeing that the game had it, but after doing some research I'm slightly confused on whether or not we can. All I do know is that we need our own copies.

So mainly questions are: Is multiplayer still possible? And is it easy to set up?

You'll both need your own CD-key.

However, the game comes with a "default" CD key in the installer, and your own personalized CD key is attached to your account. While the default key is pretty much banned everywhere, if you're just running a private LAN game that won't affect you and one person can use the default key while one uses the personalized key.

Yes, multiplayer is still possible. The official servers are long dead, but that won't affect you if you're using LAN or doing direct connect. There are fan-run server listings if you want to go over the internet, though if it's just the two of you direct connect should suffice.

We don't wanna worry about servers, it's just gonna be 1 friend and I. As for LAN or direct connect, are we gonna have to do a hamachi kinda thing?

If you're in the same LAN, then you shouldn't need to do anything. Your games should be visible to each other.

If you're not on the same LAN, the first thing you're going to need to do is set up port forwarding. Whoever is going to host the game needs to configure their router to forward UDP traffic on port 5121 to their computer. The exact steps you need to follow depend on the exact model of router being used, so Google that. Once you have that set up, you just need to find your ip address and the other person can connect to it without the aid of a third party tool.
