Actually, I love NWN, and I agree that the character development is very
exciting to play. I go the extra step and actually develop a character
history and try to role-play it (e.g. my Half-Orc Monk grew up being
discriminated against, so now he fights to stop discrimination everywhere,
even if that means I don't complete certain side-quests and miss out on XP
that my friends get). Because it is based on D&D 3ed, it is arguably one of
the best attempts to bring role-playing to a PC game. ...However, it falls
short of allowing the true social interaction that I think of for an RPG.
It is *very* close though, and perhaps close enough that distintion is not
important.
