I bought the game this weekend to celebrate purchasing a new laptop. It's funny how a game made in late 2006 won't run on a laptop built just a month ago. Damn Intel Graphic chipsets!
The game doesn't support them at all. Really pissed me off because it didn't state this anywhere other than the readme.txt file. Which, after opening the game, made it very difficult to return to Best Buy. Had to pull a guy from the Geek Squad (called them the "Nerd Herd". We laughed, they didn't.) to verify that indeed, it wouldn't run on the system it was bought with. Before all of that I tried running it on my older laptop with a Geforce 440 Go (32MB) and AMD Athlon 64 and still no dice.
Supposedly, it also has timing problems with dual cores which would have made the game unplayable even if my new laptop had a Nvidia or ATI set-up. I do believe that this is the last PC I buy for the foreseeable future. If you can't play games on a PC then you may as well have a Mac and be golden right?
NWN1 - Love it and will play it for a long time to come.
NWN2 - Never again...
