I had no problems under Win7. Just installed Win8; re-installed DirectX9.0c (June 2010) and tried to run the game. It runs, just. It takes minutes to load and remains that slow in the menus. Haven't tried to actually play.

Anyone got it running, and if so what did you do?

I see that the GoG version states that it is Win8 compatible, which suggests that it should run. I don't really want to reinstall it, but maybe that's the only way.

NWN2 works fine for me under Win8 x64.  Startup times aren't slower than under Win7.

If you have media in your optical drive, try removing it. Due to some unfortunately designed code in the game, startup will take much longer if there is optical media plugged in as the game will spend some time querying the media.

No optical media, and I don't just mean a little bit slower, or even a lot slower, I mean it takes minutes to load (from an SSD). Re-install did not solve the issue.

From what I can see in Task Manager activity just grinds to a halt.

OK I found the problem, which is a rather stupid one. Windows set up two sets of Speakers and chose the wrong one as default. Changing that solved the problem. Oh well, it didn't take that long and is the only issue I've had; I should be thankful for small mercies... :)
