Beacuse most of t he time, death is utterly pointless and the unconciousness works the same apart from the fact you don't have to spew rezz spells after every battle at mid-high levels. If I have to choose between Die and become revived through magic or being incapacitated and wake up after the battle, I'd choose the latter any day. The constant dying and become alive again was a pest in NWN1, especially in MP.

Pros Great visuals. The customization options are quite good, and I really like the fact all faces aren't designed as japanese comic heroes or vogue models. The options are not abundant though, and may wear thin pretty quickly as the multiplayer gaming gets rolling. It seems to stick by the D&D rules a lot better than NWN1. The toolset makes for great gameworlds. It's all fresh and new! Cons Pretty steep system reqs. While I generally like the interface, the biggest problems for me is that you can't really put anything useful in all those quickslots- you don't need to put spells there, since you have the quickspell menu, you can't assign emotes or macros to it anymore (which is horrible from a MP point of view) and in many MP games you won't need a 50+ slots for items. The "mode" window is great, but you can't customize it. One of my characters is stuck with parry (never use), stealth (never use) and detect (never use either), which i.e. means the whole window is a waste of space for him. The clunky way to control companions and lack of quick, key controlled voice commands. I guess the "everything within two clicks" was a great thought, but it often turns out a heck of a lot slover than it used to most of the time. That said, I love it (although I guess they could have gotten away with anything because hey, it's Neverwinter Nights 2!

1. Do you possibly mean Reach? In that case, not to my knowledge.

Dicipline is in? Monk run speed means monks can finally walk normally? HP per level: 10 - Why not d10? Does that mean we don't get rolls? Frenzy gives only +6 STR regardless of lvl? And it only gives 2 dmg/rd? On the other hand, barbarian rage only gives +4 STR/CON, and that has to be wrong so... Inspire Frenzy sends all allies into Frenzy. Ouch... Just a few oddities

I can't see anything beyond NWN2 at this time. (w00t)

I'm playing with the NWN2 toolset pretending I'm playing the actual game. Try that for a few minutes and you won't ever complain about crappy combat animations again.
