As I said before, a long while back, MP, and the toolset are the only things I'd really buy this game for, and based on all I've read, and been told personally about MP, his review seems right on. The fact that there is no "updater" type set up for the walkmeshes means that people that want to host a MP world have to secure a download site for their walkmeshes, let alone .hak files. As you said, it's a sequel, some aspects of it should be better, not worse.
That being said, I've seen some really pretty screenshots from in a private game, and as far as I can tell from those, the game is much prettier. I'll know more about how it really plays pretty soon, I hope. Then I'll post my own review, based on my playing experience.

If you bought NWN 2 primarily for the DMclient and the toolset, then you probably DO have a right to bitch and complain.
RTB, I will grant you that NWN 2 is NOT the game you wanted or hoped for. However, I strongly disagree that the "101" is "right on". You and I will have to "agree to disagree" on the validity of the review. I see too many nit-picky issues, inaccuracies or personal preferences being touted as "fact" to consider the "101" review to be anywhere CLOSE to being fair or accurate.
IMO the 101 review is ALMOST as bad as the original 1UP review that panned the game JUST because it was based on AD&D! Now how ridiculous was THAT? Flaming an AD&D game because it was an AD&D game?
