The engine is atrocious and ugly even in the Enhanced version, and the ruleset was never designed for solo adventuring, which is how most NWN is played (sometimes you have 1-2 AI-controlled henchmen but this isn’t a good substitute). That said, if you can overlook these (major) flaws, it has two good full length campaigns (Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark - skip the campaign it shipped with at launch), several quality premium modules (paid mods done right), and literally hundreds of good fan modules, all of which should in theory be compatible with the Enhanced Edition.
Edit: A couple module recs: The Shadowlords/Dreamcatcher/Demon series; Penultima and Penultima Reloaded; Maugeter.

Pick it up just in time for the mini expansion coming out next week.
Thanks @Chappers , been waiting for it to drop sub $20.
And claim said mini-expansion before December for free, and it’s yours to keep.
I’d love to take advantage of that but NewEgg are strict on the U.S. only billing address. Sad face.
Where are you based, @Wo1verine?
NewEgg are giving out Steam codes, so provided the code isn’t geolocked I could pick it up for you and send you the code and you could buy me something on Steam?
PM me if you want.
They charge tax (at least in MN), so it’s only very slightly below $20. And they require signing up for their newsletter. I think I’ll pass.
Tax here in CT was 17 cents and there was a checkbox for the newsletter which I unchecked.
Having said which, two hours later they still haven’t given me the Steam code.
I also unchecked the newsletter box and was told the code was invalid if I wasn’t a newsletter subscriber.
My key arrived 30 minutes after ordering. The deal was posted on Reddit, so maybe they are swamped?
It came through about a half hour ago so it all worked out, it was just taking some time. Probably because it was popular, like you say.
Thanks a million Mr_Bismarck for getting me a key. Worked a charm.
Glad it worked!
Breathedge is already making me laugh a lot, so this worked out well.
Yeah, it looked a bit wacky. Post a review when you’ve finished, I’ll be interested in what you think.
I got an email that Gorogoa is 45% off on Steam. I can’t remember why a game with this name is on my wishlist. I did a search on Qt3 and found these post:
You need this game. It is incredible.
While I can appreciate what it’s trying to do, it wasn’t for me, as past the initial screens, I was mostly fiddling randomly with the stuff on screen, hoping to progress. I didn’t enjoy it.
For those who don’t have XCOM2 at all in any flavour, you can pick up the base plus all DLC for $25 using the following link:
Thats a great deal if you don’t own any of it.
Ugh, the Windows Game Store though. If it’s anything like my experience with its DRM and Forza Horizon 3 with non Play Anywhere games, I’d look elsewhere.
Now, if it’s just a Steam key, no problem.
