Big NWN2 1.03 patch on the way
Nowadays publishers tend to release games still full of bugs and other small irritations. Neverwinter Nights 2, while being a fine rpg nonetheless, is one of those games.
But there is still hope, since developer Obsidian seems to nail a lot of the complaints on NWN2 in their third patch (v1.03), which will officially be released next week. You can read a big list of bugfixes and new features on the official boards and can only start to wonder how on earth this could have slipped from the game on day one:
The Neverwinter Vault has also interviewed members of Obsidian on the future post-release support of the game. NWN2Warcry will publish the second part of the interview later this day.

General
• Weapon combos in hotbar: Added the ability to set up dual weapon, weapon & shield, or weapon & torch combos in the hotbar. Clicking the hotbar button for a weapon you already have equipped will unequip it.
• Camera Changes: We’ve made a series of camera changes to this version:
o New options for adjusting sensitivity for controlling the camera by keyboard, mouse, and edge of screen.
o Chase Cam adjusted to work more like NWN1.
o In free cam mode, the arrow keys now pan the camera, and holding down CTRL will zoom and yaw the camera.
o Added bindable keyboard key for mouse look / camera control. This mimics functionality of pressing down the middle mouse button for those without a middle mouse button.
• Graphics Optimizations: A number of new graphics optimizations have been added:
o Anti-Aliasing Support: Anti-aliasing is now supported and can be enabled in the Options Menu. Please note: This could significantly affect frame rate, depending on your hardware.
o Shadow Rendering: Shadow rendering speed has been improved.
o Tree Rendering: Speed improvements to the rendering of trees.
o Water Rendering: Speed improvements to how water is rendered by the engine.
• New Options:
o Buy/Sell Confirmation: You can now turn off the buy/sell confirmation dialog.
o Options menu has been reorganized to support many new camera control options.
o You can now change keybindings in game.
• Database Support:
o The database script functions from NWN1 have been re-enabled. They are now significantly faster in many cases.
