 Hi.  NWN2 Platinum is on sale for $9.99 ending Nov 28th.

I bought copies at this price last year and gave them away as gifts (which are still being played )

That's pretty cool. I'm sorely tempted. Do you know, though, how this would sit with an existing NWN2 installation? Would I have to uninstall the non-Steam version first, say?

[Axe_Edge]

I'm not sure.

I bought a Steam copy for me, just as a backup. When I have to reinstall NWN2, I plan to use the Steam version and forego the 9 disk installation (7 NWN2 CDs + 1 MOTB DVD + 1 SOZ DVD) and get to skip the patching.  Including MOW from a backup disk, my next installation would have utilized 10 disks.

The Steam version is installed in the Steam folder, so that will not conflict. A quick check on forums indicated that both versions (disk/Steam) install keys to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" in the Windows registry, which may conflict. I would try it out with my Steam copy, but I have NWN2 running really well right now.

OK well I might give that a go. I do fancy getting MotB and SoZ but I don't want to screw up my current installation if possible. I guess if it comes to it I could just uninstall everything and then reinstall from Steam.

Seven CDs sounds like a lot, by the way. I'm pretty sure I only have one (though I have the 3-CD version of NWN1 and the 5+1 version of BG+TotSC, which are by far cooler than their alternatives).

Ah, I see, Steam games seem to be installed within Steam, so it looks like I have two concurrent NWN2 installs right now... but with the same My Documents folder. I renamed the old one so I have a completely blank one for now, I'll try merging them later then probably remove the old NWN2 install. Seems to work OK as it is right now though.

[Axe_Edge]

Yeah, I read that some people suggested installing the two versions under different users, to keep the Documents folders separate. I never use the Documents folder. I always use the "-home" parameter anyway. Keeps the install real clean.

Edit:  Actually, I do use the Documents/NWN2 folder.  I start NWN2 the first time, set the options to what I like, then exit the game.  From that point on I only use the Documents/NWN2 folder to hold the two .ini files I like and copy to the new -home folders I create.  Realisitcally, I don't need the Documents folder to do this, I could just keep copies of the two .ini files somewhere else.

Yeah, I ended up getting this version rather than the bundle being sold at the Atari store.

Although I've played NWN2 - the original release without expansions - I found $9.99 a steal I could not pass up on. So, I'm fully updated now to all versions of NWN2.

EDIT: WOW! My original post from 14 days ago is still on the front page, even with all these annoying sticky posts.

Yes, and the $5 deal has generated a new round of trollerific "I played NWN2 and it made my computer explode and gave my car a flat tire" posts to the Steam forums.

As of Dec 21, 2011, at 10 pm PST, NWN2 is currently the #4 best seller. Woohoo!

Hopefully those are issues my never launcher can solve or sidestep, it already seems like it should help to some degree. Pretty close to camera issues being a lot better for example, and client extension, setting cores should help, as well as a tool to help copy paste cdkeys into the game from where steam provides it.
