Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition is a decent port of a decent game. The branching dialogue options, deep character customisation, and wealth of content to discover make this an appealing offer to CRPG fans, but the occasional glitches and overall jankiness prevent it from becoming an all-time great or an easy recommendation for anyone.
