yes

Story is amazing, but the gameplay isn't all that great. However, the same could be said of both KOTOR and Mass Effect (though I enjoyed both immensely). It really depends on what you played those game for. The dialogue system in NWN 2 shares more similarities with KOTOR 2 than with its predecessor. Meaning influence plays a much larger role. Your dialogue options in NWN 2 with non-party members are much-reduced, and most npcs do not have voiceover.  That said, speech that is in the game is extremely well-written and voice-acted. By the mid point of the story, I found myself laughing out loud at the interactions between my party members, even when my character wasn't involved. Additionally, your party's composition is more fluid, in NWN 2 so the loss of some characters can not only alter events, but be preceeded by somewhat emotional departures. I highly recommend this game to anyone who plays RPG's for the story. If that's you Magnum, congrats! You just found yourself an awesome new game.

I just started playing it afer finishing ME and it felt horrible at first, technical issues, bad camera and quite old fashioned gameplay. Since then I've really fallen for the story and depth it has compared to ME and most recent RPGs, and I'm enjoying it even more than I did Mass Effect tbh.

It's a solid RPG, but as others have pointed out, it had some technical gltiches.  To me it's not very memorable, and not something I'll ever play again after having beaten it (the same cannot be said for KOTOR and ME, each of which I've played at least 3 times a piece).

I tried to get into KOTOR but I just couldn't do it after playing Mass Effect.

I'm gonna play thru ME for the third time cos I got a new HDTV last week!!

KOTOR was good but I'm currently enjoying NWN2 even better.  The fighting is on par with the Icewind Dale series and the story is pretty good when compared to BG2.  I like the characters too.  The only main problems are the camera and bugs from this game, ignore those and you get yourself a good RPG.
