Should I play NWN before NWN2?

At least in 2 you got to be really nasty to her when she finds Khalid's body. And then boot her from the party

Viconia was excellent, you never knew when she was going to come out with something that would start a fight.

One day I will have to try these out. I briefly played a trial of one of them and found it a fair bit of fun. It's the SP elements that appeal to me more than any other, even if only for curiosity sake.

Exactly, some antagonism in an RPG party makes things more interesting.

I used to run an NWN Persistent World and love NWN so have a bit of experience here...

I'd say that you're fine playing NWN2 on its own in all honesty. NWN holds many fond memories for me but I really enjoyed NWN2 much more for single player.

You may miss out on a few background stories and not realise who some characters are by not playing NWN first though. Eg: Deekin (seeing him again made me smile!

). Oh, FWIW I liked Neeshka, Khelgar and Qara.
