NWN Aurora was beautiful. Good animations, lots of avatar-emotions and socials. NWN2 seems to be based on the KotOR engine. Char creation, item creation, work-bench, components, auto-rez'ing, animations (or lack of such), all KotOR, no?

Aurora was a bit ugly, even for its time. However, Its problem wasn't the graphics, it was the rather awful gameplay. In my book, only allowing for the player to control only one character in a single player DnD game is one of the most idiotic design decisions of all time.
