ryanzag: Lots of people are probably grabbing the NWN2 complete currently. Could anybody who has tried out a bunch of modules give some recommendations of which modules to play through?
In particular, more recent modules that wouldn't have been around when the game was released a few years back, and that use the new features from the expansions would be good.
Basically a list of 'must play' NWN2 modules!
These two from the top of my head.
Harp & Chrysanthemum One of the finest RPG experiences I've ever had. Can't really say what it was in this that's so absolutely great, but there you go.
Short, moody, mild mature content, enough combat.
Dark Waters (also has a second chapter).
Pretty long and complex story, deep and involving but still somehow a light hearted comedy.
While the story is brilliant, the characters deep and involving, the main draw still has to be the bewildering amount of custom content and strange awesome stuff. Some of it is available as stand alone mods like Pirate Cards and Lute Hero.
Not bug free by any means, keep many separate saves in case you run into a game breaking one. It's absolutely worth the hassle though. Especially the islands on the second chapter are both the greatest stuff and an amazingly rich source of buggery.
BTW. Do not reaload if you die!
Death is one of the best characters here. There's just brilliant stuff there, something like "what were you thinking! Didn't you see the fangs on that" or stuff like that.
