Combat overhaul is required for this. I'm a NWN2 enjoyer, and the gaming public is not going to like this at all unless they took all the sharp edges off. Hell I don't even like it anymore. Back then it was accepted because of technical limitations. You couldn't really do much action combat on PC at the time. Those limitations are long gone.

UI Scaling is completed busted in the original. For me this looks amazing and I enjoyed NWN2

I paid good money for this Dynex!
This looks... like the same game from 2007. Which isn't bad - I was actually just thinking recently about how I want to finally play it and Mask of the Betrayer - but uh...
What am I paying for?

It really hasn't aged well, like at all. Which is why I was hoping for more from this remaster. Unless they overhauled the combat or something without showing it in the trailer, I expect lots of disappointed people coming from Baldur's Gate.
To be clear, the game hadn't aged well way before Baldur's Gate, but now it's even more apparent.

I dicked around in NWN 1 for a bit maybe 6 months ago and the game at least felt good mechanically. I've never really sat down and played either, I guess. Did NWN2 age worse? I recall that one always feeling kinda clunky in the maybe 1 hour I actually played it at launch.

At least for me, NWN 1 has aged much much better, I went back last year to replay both. I could not play 2 for over 4 hours before giving up. 1, while obviously inferior in most ways, feels consistent and its aged tech almost has a charm to it. 2 feels inconsistent and like something that was thrown together by modders and held together by glue and dreams. I have no idea how I (almost) finished it back then.

There it is. I've been hearing rumors about this one.
Never liked it too terribly much, but I was even more jaded back then than I am now, so I should give it another go. NWN 2 in its current form really hates modern PCs, so if they can fix that, I'm interested.
I can understand peoples' dislike of the game. The story and writing were pretty awful, but then again, so was NWN 1's. The sequel did have more interesting environments to explore, if my memory serves, and the moment-to-moment encounters were more interesting. NWN 1 by contrast liked to just throw huge waves of the same disposable enemy at you, and the entire experience was built around killing said waves of mooks while going from one box-shaped arena to the next.
NWN 2 didn't feel that way when I played it all those years ago. Plus, you can be a tiefling warlock. That's a plus.

I am very curious about this as I have long heard the praises for Mask of the Betrayer. As an Infinity Engine fanatic, I found the first Neverwinter Nights to be such a massive disappointment that I never tried the sequel.
What ruleset does it use 3.5 ed?

Anybody know if there's a detailed list of the updates/changes?
