My kids have a thing for breaking the CD's for my favorite games & both my NWN 1 & 2 play disks didn't excape destruction. I have the rest of the disks & I have all my cd keys. Does anyone know if I have to purchase the game again in order to reinstall or is there another way around this? I really don't want to have to purchase these games again just to get a play disk.
Thanks in advance...

The digital download versions can be downloaded multiple times, but regarding the CD, AFAIK, the only legal, or at least official way is purchasing the game again.
If you buy it again, gog.com and gamersgate.com have both games for sale every now and then, so take a look at those sites.

If you still have your original keys (look in your game installation folder and find the file nwncdkey.ini), then back that up somewhere safe.
If you then buy the digital copy you can download it to two different computers and use the keys from the digital version for one copy and your old keys for the other.
Now, find a friend and invite them over to play multiplayer

That's why I said "official way". No idea if what you suggest is legal or not. Fair use, definitely, but that doesn't necessarily mean legal here.
Actually, I don't know how illegal it would be to download the game from an unofficial source in this particular case. I'm no lawyer, but as long as she has the original CD keys, she can have a security copy, right?
Either way, the "official solution" is buying it again.
