I'm quite the nub when it comes to D&D, but after playing with NWN 2 for awhile and briefly checking out NX1, i can build a pretty good character. One of my favorite parts is actually seeing what build works with what kind of character i like to play.
All nubs aside, NX1 is a great game for all who know what they are doing. With the great music, design, graphics, and gameplay, its definitely something to check out. Heck, i've been trying to play it again ever since i got a taste of it on our Obsidian NX1 Play Day!
