I understand that NWN1 really only let you control one character. Does NWN2 give you a full party to control? And is it a continuation of the story in NWN1 with the same characters, or is it just set in the same setting?

It's been a while but AFAIK you control three or four party members so it's more like the older BG games than NWN1 in that regard.

Storywise it's set in the Forgotten Realms near the regions of the first game but it's a completely new story with new characters. Iirc the story manages to decently subvert some expectations. I remember a conversation with a dead god in the expansion that was on par with meeting Sovereign for the first time in Mass Effect.

Thanks. My backlog is quite deep at this point, with some very long games filling it, so I don't know when I'll ever get around to this one, but that sounds good to me. I've never played anything 3rd edition before either, and I'm guessing that's where most of Pillars of Eternity's systems came from.

TIL these games are based on 3E and 3.5E. Neat. I might have to give a remaster a go just for that.
