Cool, thank you for the information.
I was thinking about picking up NWN2 anyway--does this also have the
same possibilities for arena play, or would I be better off starting off
with the original NWN?
I'd also like to play the single-player campaign--should I start with
NWN or can I just jump into NWN2? (I started the Baldur's Gate series
on part 2 and it hasn't bothered me yet).
