Camera Modes

Leader! Most 1st Place Votes
One thing is common throughout every review of NWN2: The camera control is horrible. How about a "Guild Wars" or "WoW-style" camera?

1UP.com says:

"Matters are made worse by the camera, which you can configure four ways...all of which suck, as no matter what you choose, you'll find your view obstructed by walls (which can't be made transparent) and other characters. Half of my combat experience in NWN2 was marred by fighting the camera when I should have been fighting the enemy"

Pathfinding problems (players, NPC's getting "stuck")

While fighting the camera controls, I also have to hand-hold each player to make sure they can get into the fight.

Frame rate & performance improvements

The game looks good but not "that" good. Optimize it so we can turn up the detail. (My ATI X1800 should be able to run this game at high res without having to turn down the effects and deail)

NPCs disapearing, animal companions taking their place.

Sometimes, when, for some particular mission, you have more than 3 companions with you, when returning to the inn, someone's animal companion will take the place of one of your companions.
(I lost Khelgar to Qara's companion, and I can't even use it unless Qara is there)

Out-of-combat buff take a full round.

When outside of combat, buff spells should cast faster, taking at most half the time. There needs to be a point where fun takes over game logics.

Mouse sensitivity option

This might be related to the camera problems, since there is a "camera speed" and "lag" option, but no mouse speed options. I'd like the camera rotation speed to be snappy, without making my mouse run control so erratic.

Weird "infinite geometry bug" on characters

Those big lines are parts of people's bodies and other objects in the game.

My system:
P4 3ghz
1GB RAM
ATI X1800 (Catalyst 6.10 drivers)
WinXP SP2

This bug has also been reported on
Athlon 2500+
Radeon 9800 PRO (128MB)
1GB RAM

"VPU Recover" error (Black screen of death)

After a few minutes, the game locks up and the screen goes dark. Ati pops up an error saying the video card had stopped responding. Sometimes, though, I have to force a reboot.

P4 3ghz
1GB RAM
ATI X1800


Interestingly, I ahve only seen this error in one other game: Dungeons and Dragons Online (demo), which was included with NWN2.
