Neverwinter Nights 2

I've started and restarted Neverwinter Nights 2 several times since I bought it, never making it much past the first steps into the city of Neverwinter. I usually stop playing for my typical reason, which is that the game starts to get difficult so I quit playing.

This time, I'm making a fighter. His name is Alhazred Al'hazar, and he looks a little bit like Michael Jordan. My intention is to turn him into a weapons master who uses a greatsword.

I've already had to re-create him twice and run through the tutorial, since arranging the stats so you can take the appropriate feats (Mobility, Spring Attack, Whirlwind), is a little more in-depth than I had guessed.

Things are going well. The attack on the village I started at was thwarted with little difficulty. Alhazred seems to be an adequate blender of lizardmen and bladelings. He's encountered so far a dwarven rowdy, and an adorable tiefling thief, who are currently accompanying him for mutual protection and possible fat loots.

I admire the tiefling girl for her dedication if not her intelligence. So far she has wandered into no less than three groups of ravening monsters because she possibly spotted a trap in their midst.

I admire the dwarf because he's full of hitpoints, which I usually arrange to be consumed by the aforementioned ravening monsters before Alhazred's.

Note: Spring attack is pretty awesome. Getting into a flanking position without drawing attacks of opportunity has been pretty useful.
