I would've expected it to either be just DS2 or a DS1+2 bundle on Daily Deal. May as well wait for the final day before buying though, just in case. | ||

If you have friend(s) to play with, Borderlands is amazing (especially few of the DLCs). Same goes with Saints Row, but you can play that on your own better. If you want to hear more on Borderlands 2, i posted TotalBiscuit's sale-video of it on previous page. Good insight what to expect. | ||

Otherwise, Saints Row for single-player. | ||

If you can get over the slight clumsiness (of Arma games) and occasional bugs, yea, its worth it. Realistic shooter, damn fun with friends. I've mostly played Wasteland. | ||

But its more a GTA style game as opposed to the first person shooting styles of Borderlands. Saints Row is more about upgrading super powers and Borderlands is more about upgrading guns.

Would you like to choose A, a set of games that's been on midweek madness 15 times this year or B, new games that look somewhat interesting? I am a little disappointed beyond the first 2 days. I'm already starting to see some repeats in sales but normally they aren't so close. | ||

For NWN2, how's the balancing in that game? In that are a lot of the different builds all viable? Spent so much time playing FPS mostly that really missed out on NWN / Baldurs Gates | ||

The only issue I have is the unbelieveably bad camera. It's destroying the whole game for me. Tactical combat (I am only playing games on highest difficulties) is a total disaster thanks to the camera. If you can bear with it, you might enjoy it a lot. Especially the 2nd expansion is supposed to be outstanding. | ||

Spent so much time playing FPS mostly that really missed out on NWN / Baldurs Gates NWN2 (like NWN) is a really deep game and a must-buy imo. Like said above, UI wasn't the best unfortunately (in NWN1 it was actually better) but character customization and user mods and scenarios (with the editor) alone make it worth it. Campaign is quite nice, as a bonus ;D | ||

Spent so much time playing FPS mostly that really missed out on NWN / Baldurs Gates The build customization in NWN2 has tons and tons of options, and if you're into fine optimization, each build archetype can feature minor adjustments in skill points or feats to accomplish different things. The game's default campaign story is fairly generic, just like in NWN1 or BG1. Mask of the Betrayer offers a more fun, engaging story though. | ||

For NWN2, how's the balancing in that game? In that are a lot of the different builds all viable? Spent so much time playing FPS mostly that really missed out on NWN / Baldurs Gates The base NWN2 game is a competently made RPG. The story is filled with generic fantasy tropes, but is perfectly aware of it, making references to it on several occasions. The character customisation is fantastic; there are lots of different class combinations. The balance is pretty good, although spell casting classes are generally the most interesting to play. Mask of The Betrayer (the game's first expansion) is one of the best RPGs ever made. It's extremely different from the base game in terms of writing and atmosphere; it's much darker and sophisticated. It also has one of the finest implementations of an 'evil' playthrough in any RPG. The gameplay in both NWN2 and its expansions is similar to the infinity engine games (e.g. Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment). I wouldn't go into NWN2 or its expansions expecting amazing gameplay or grand strategies, just gameplay that's done competently and pretty fun. TL;DR Base NWN2 is basically a traditional DnD romp; NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer is a unique, atmospheric and very well written role-playing experience.

I did mod the game quite a bit during my playthrough (the character models are so ugly by default), but I don't remember the camera being an issue for me, personally. | ||
