Neverwinter Nights 2: Bit-Tech Review of NWN 2: 8/10

While understanding and appreciating the 8/10 score awarded NWN 2 by Bit-Tech, the reviewer cites Bioware as "overseeing" the game's development (really?), and said:

All in all, I hope the game manages to get the TLC that it so desperately deserves. Under this rough coat is a diamond, and it's not unlike Bioware titles to take up to a year to truly come into their own. But this one's not there yet, and we're going to give it a generous 8 based on the very real hope that it will eventually get there. For what the game is now, this figure might be a little too high for many tastes, but in a year it may be too low. A game like this is much like a fine wine or spirit - aging it a bit will add to its flavours and mellow the harsh overtones.

Personally, though, I might recommend that you wait to buy it until that happens. I will be putting my copy on the shelf for a few months, in order to see what comes out of it. If there's interest at that time, I may amend my review to give it a new look... I'm willing to bet that in six months time, this will be a lot more like the diamond it should be.
