I look very sinister in the above screenshot.

It happened when I was wearing Stoneskin and someone did this big effect spell, it took the stone-part off of me but kept the colors.

I'll post a few screenies of my guy later on when i'm back home, but all in all I have to say I really like NWN2 and hope they do some work on premium modules and there are whispers on the official boards of an expnsion in the works.

Ah I see your wearing the Divine Champion's Armour and the noblemans cap? I usually find a decent circlet say intelligence +2 and add a few more enchantments to it myself using Sand at the Wizards desk. It's just a shame you cannot further enhance an item that has 3 or more enchantments on it as i'd love to upgrade the tunic of the Neverwinter Nine. As my current build is Paladin lvl5, Fighter lvl2 (for the extra weapon proficiencies, i prefer the longsword and shield approach), Divine Champion lvl8 and finally Neverwinter Nine lvl5.

The best aspect of NWN2 (though if Atari backed off it would've allowed Obsidian to make it even better) is the stronghold, I loved the idea of having your own keep, lands and army to maintain.

I am very disappointed in NWN2 so far (playing single player campaign yet), I played NWN1 some, it wasn't perfect, but it did many things right that Obsidian shouldn't have changed. NWN2 inventory and its GUI are terrible, especially one slot per item with horrible icons thing, inability to just drop items straight into the bags-of-holding without opening them first .. bah.
Then the maps are often tiny and area transition thing is awful, looks like no matter which road out of town you take, you always end up in the same world transition screen, so then what was the point of having the multitude of roads and transition spots? just plain retarded. I liked the travel/map transitions in NWN1 MUCH better.
I absolutely HATE it that the companions are forced into my company without me able to reject them. Some of the companions my character would our right slaughtered on the spot, left alone travel with them, breaks character, breaks role playing, just plain idiotic. NWN1 radial menus were also much better then the context menus now. Inability to attack anyone I feel like is crap. Glued-on non-removable clothes are total crap.
The game has so far been boring too, I know all the good stuff starts once you reach Neverwinter (and I just did) but I am just so put off and annoyed by all the stuff I feel Obsidian had screwed up, I just don't even feel like playing it anymore.

The GUI isnt TERRIBLE, it's just 'different' it takes getting used to. But in my opinion it's much BETTER. There is no point in making items take up different amount's of space since it's weight based anyway, it just made organising it that much more difficult. Aside from that the rest of the UI is mostly the same - The icons arn't horrible either. They look decent.

It's mildly annoying that you have to OPEN a bag before you can put things into it, yes. This is one of those things that is almost guarenteed to be changed in a patch though.

The Maps/transitions are module specific, the way NWN2 handled them in the Official Campaign was better then Nwn1 because in NWN1 you had no choice where you went, and NPC would just bring you there and you were there until you finished whatever you had to do. So what if leaving the town through the south gate doesnt make a difference, what difference would you like it to make?

The companions being "forced" into your company can be annoying, especially for Paladins who are supposed to be UNABLE to group with evil characters such as Bishop. But you can just leave them at home for the most part, except in rare instances when their presence is needed for the plot though. Companions in NWN2 are much better then they were in NWN1, in NWN1 they were Henchmen with no story or personality - NWN2's companions are much more like KOTOR Companions.

Most people prefer the drop down menu to the old radial menus, me included. They work the same they are just shaped diferently really

Being able to attack people is the same exact way it was in NWN1, it's based on a zone's PVP settings. Plenty of areas in NWN1 were no PVP which prevented you from attacking Neutral or Friendly NPCs.

You had glued on non-removable clothes in NWN1 to, they were just different - Besides there are already a dozen or so replacement underwear mods you can download already if you want to.

If any of you guys want to play with me online, post a message here and we will get something set up.

The server I play on is called "Ithia" my character is "Weigraf Blondebeard" Im level 6 now, if any of you want to play come check us out. It's a good server to play on. It's in the "Roleplay" catagory but it's not one of those nerdy heavy-rp-or-be-banned servers.
