After years playing NWN1, for which I wrote that similar thread (in my signature): 
"Add-ons & Tips from the NWN Community"
I'm now willing to experiment NWN2, but if possible at its best from the start. 
I've been reading quite a lot already, including that great 
Essential Add-On's and Hak's - Repost from Old Forums thread. 
But... I wouldn't mind some player's insight at all. 

I'm looking mostly for:
- my first and most important question: The best community AI between the few I already saw? (I love Tony K's one for NWN1)
- Some fines PC faces, male and female? (Sorry to say but the regular ones are almost... disappointing...) 
- some way to change your own PC face, skin & hair colors, armor & weapon designs, and so on but "in game", like this amazing Customize Character Override Hak does so well for the older game. 

and... 

any "not-to-be-missed add-on" that would simply come to your NWN2 connoisseur's mind... 

Also does it work the same way, through the override folder? 
(I'm on a Mac, Intel one, playing NWN2 the "Mac OSX Lion's way". Just for the records, as I never experienced any major difference between PCs and Macs in my NWN1's life)

With my NWN 1&2 player's thanks. 

Oups, 'almost forgot the shameful cheating part... 
Does it go the same NWN1 way, debug and all? 
Any thread, tip, list about it?

He did the AI you get in 1.23, the latest release package puts in some options the official devs failed to include.

There are a few on the vault, not as many as i'd like.
- Whatbrick's New Heads (a few new
heads, some of which are good!)
- Always Summer (replacing clothes,
showing more skin without being nude)

- some way to change your own PC face, skin & hair colors, armor & weapon designs, and so on but "in game", like this amazing Customize Character Override Hak does so well for the older game.

There is xp_craft for NWNx you can use in PW's, which has a full dialog, this is closest to what you are describing. Charlie's Item Appearance Changer does it in single player via faking it.

and...

any "not-to-be-missed add-on" that could simply come to your NWN2 connoisseur's mind...

read "Add-ons & Tips from the NWN Community" again - all you are doing it rephrasing the basic point of that thread. The only thing you won't get since you are on a mac is skywings client extension which really goes beyond what NWN1's community ever hoped doing.

Also does it work the same way, through the override folder?

yes, same basic engine - down to sharing some of the same bugs. Adds in -home folders and keeping your files under "my documents" instead of in program files. This means multiple users or as the same user multiple configurations configured by shortcuts.

(I'm on a Mac, Intel one, playing NWN2 the "Mac OSX Lion's way". Just for the records, as I never experienced any major difference between PCs and Macs in my NWN1's life)

It's the same differences, toolset is PC only. Kaldor has info on upgrading to 1.23 and all the expansions. You don't have advantage of skywings client extension ( which fixes tons of features), but you can use Wine type tools to run the PC version on a mac.

It seems I can't find any new female heads, made by the community?

I guess my first step should be to update my game all the way as far as a Mac can go. 
Thanks a lot for all of this, painofdungeoneternal.
