Yes, in my opion too, BG2 is the best pc-rpg ever, roleplaying wise.
But comparing BG2 is NWN is pointless aswell, the game engines are so
radically different that in gameplay they hardly resemble each other. Both
games are excellent. BG(2) is focused on party play, as NWN is more of a
solo adventure (even with a henchman). The storylines too are far stricter
in NWN aswell as areas where you can go at any given in the game in
comparison with BG. But NWN's strength is in modules, you don't ever run out
of new adventures to play. Which also means the level of story quality
varies a lot; some good, some not.
BG2 strengths are incredibly large gamearea, lots and lots of side quests.
better NPC's. It's also a great deal more slow paced then NWN, whether
that's a good or a bad thing depends on ones preferences. You can play
through NWN OC in a week (with all sidequests)...BG2 takes a heck of a lot
longer if you plan to visit every possible location.
I like them both. Currently I'm focused on NWN modules though, since the
stories remain fresh. Playing BG2 through again requires some time in
between or it will get too familiar. Then again whenever I do it, I always
play through with a single character from BG1->TOSC->BG2->TOB and go for the
BIG METAL UNIT at the end....imagine how long that takes, realtime, since I
don't play on a daily bases...a better part of a year.
