Product Description
Bards sing tales of heroes from ages past, but never have the Forgotten Realms so desperately needed a champion. Years have passed since the war between Luskan and Neverwinter, almost enough time for the wounds of war to heal. But the brief peace the Realms have known may be at an end. Tension growing between the mighty city-states means the Sword Coast again teeters on the edge of open war. Unnoticed, a greater danger stalks the City of Skilled Hands. Unbeknownst to the denizens of the North, deep in the Mere of Dead Men, dark forces from across the Realms have been rallied under the banner of a legendary evil. If left unchallenged, all of the North is doomed to fall under its power.
Even in this darkest hour, hope remains. A mysterious relic is borne to Neverwinter in the hands of a lone hero so that its secrets may be unlocked - secrets that carry the fate of all the North. So begins an epic tale of shattered alliances, noble acts and dark deeds to be told across the Realms for generations to come.

Fun:
Having read a number of comments about how buggy Neverwinter Nights 2 was (usually referring to the Windows version) I was wary of this release, but since the first game was excellent, I decided to risk £30. I haven't been at all disappointed. I encountered a couple of minor bugs during the game, but nothing that wasn't solved by loading a saved game from five or ten minutes earlier and replaying a small section. There's a lot of depth to the story and to the NPCs, and there's a genuine sense of all the characters working together (rather than one character doing all the work with one or two henchmen in tow, while the rest stand in a series of taverns). The graphics are better than the original, there are more races and classes (although the epic levels are gone) and the crafting system is almost worth bothering with...
It is a shame there's no toolset for the Mac, but I suppose you can still play the modules all the Windows people have made.

Fun:
This game was absolutely great, until it broke. As a fan of Neverwinter Nights 1 I was very happy to get this on the Mac and I enjoyed the game immensely, the roleplaying element is really good, especially the henchmen interaction. I made it all the way through the game and started a new one as a different class etc. Part of the way through this game I upgraded my Mac to OSX 10.6 and ever since then the game has crashed at an unacceptable frequency. Almost any room change would lead to a crash and if you were lucky enough to make it through one room, you wouldn't make it through the next. I tried a re-install, repairing permissions and started the game afresh incase it was a corrupt save but all was to no avail. At the moment I believe there is no plan to release anymore updates to this game so this won't be fixed.
In short, if you are thinking of buying this game and have OSX 10.6 then don't.

Fun:
The game itself is pretty good, certainly worth a few quid and a few lost hours of life while playing it, the downside, and its a pretty big one, is that at the time of writing (Sept 09) its not fully compatible with snow leopard. This means that while the game will run it crashes out regularly when changing locations and therefore you ned to save regularly, and before every change of location, which is ok so long as you remember to do it. Its quite annoying if you've just completed a difficult bit only to find the game crashes and you have to do it again. More annoyingly there are also situations where you cant save before changing locations (due to conversational cut scenes) and if it crashes you can end up wathing the same bit several times.
Nevertheless its a great game and a good follow up, i would suggest you wait until the compatibility with snow leopard is sorted though if you run that OS. Check aspyr's website for info on it.

The game is great !
But I can't recommend the MAC-Version right now. The game crashes on my MacBook and MacBookPro every time the character creation is over. Read more

With the Windows version being a total disappointment don't expect the Macintosh version to deliver a fix.
