I was well aware of the files being able to be downloaded through IGN and patched manually, but I only tried to put the zip file to where the auto-updater downloads it (temp folder) and also tried unzipping the file itself to patch folder. I assumed I was to use the NWN2 Patcher which I tried but it failed to operate successfully, and if had not made a backup I would have probably needed to install the game again.
At any rate, I did download the patches - from version 1.10.1115 to the current non-expansion version. By the time I created this thread I had nearly installed all the patches, so really the point was to rather question Obsidian if they realize that their server is somewhat broken or if they didn't know how hard it was to patch up with the auto-updater.
