What a piece of junk. Don't waste your money. Is there some way we can send the dumbasses at Brady publishing to Iraq. The one star rating is generous as the only person that likes this manual is my 1 yr old.

I wouldn't even bother writing this review with how bad this guide is, except there has to be an outcry at the crime this book is.
It delves too deeply into the classes which is about the only thing it delves into. Good information, but long winded and a good portion of it not useful. It seems to skim and skip over the whole game. Hinting and gesturing. It's worth 2 stars because it has some information and will help give you an idea of what to look at for building up your character, but nothing else. As if they were afraid to spoil anything. If I didn't want anything spoiled, I wouldn't buy the book. And now the only thing that's spoiled is my opinion of this game guide. It completely falls short of anything towards useful.

This is about one of the most useless manuals I have ever purchased for a game. I say this with the manual for TES Oblivion as a guide for what a game manual *should* be.
There are only the very shortest of blurbs for each quest in the main storyline available. There are NO side-quest walkthroughs or guides, so if you're like me and have completed Act II before realizing there were people you were supposed to have recruited for Crossroad Keep, well you're hosed. Not only Crossroad Keep, but any side-quest you may have missed. I've found out tons of important and necessary info on the NWN2 Forums that simply do not exist (and should) in this official guide.
I'm just astounded at the complete lack of any real, useful information in this manual. They spend the greater part of the book talking about Character Classes (in the free guide in the boxed game), Spells and Equipment, and very little of it going through what matters most. The actual gameplay.
I've rated this two stars because the enemy stats, maps, spells and equipment breakdowns are interesting and sometimes *gasp* helpful.
My overall recommendation is to save your money and check out the official NWN2 Forums for tips and help, or GameBanshee for a useful walkthrough.

Being a big fan of Bradygames Guides over the years I find the quality and quantity of information in this product to be shockingly dismal! The guild for Final Fantasy XII is amazing; it's artwork and complete documentation of the game are supurb!
Reading this product is like being in a vast field of uncut hay with tractor that refuses to pull-start but has a 'Bentley' hood ornament. Sad.
A waste of money...free online resources are FAR more complete.

Unsurprisingly, the fine folks at Bradygames have a non-functional 'Contact Us' form. If I put this product out, I, too, would want to make certain that I couldn't receive any feedback regarding it. So here, instead, is the text of my complaint to them, so that you might spend your money more wisely than I did:
Greetings!
I am writing to you regarding the absolutely abysmal strategy guide that I purchased for the game Neverwinter Nights 2. The Bradygames logo on it and the words "Official Strategy Guide" conspired to convince me that I should buy this thing - a treacherous act of deceit that I have yet to recover from. The guide for "Bully" was fantastic, and I have tons of others from Final Fantasy X and X-2, GTA:San Andreas, Front Mission 4, etc. I'm no stranger to Bradygames, and I'm usually more than satisfied with my purchases. But in this case ... well, allow me to list my specific greivances:
1) A huge percentage of the book's contents are directly from the instruction booklet. This is unnecessary padding. It can be safely assumed that I have the instruction booklet, or can download it. I don't need to pay you guys for an extra copy.
2) The 'strategies' are inane, and almost always boil down to "Keep your spellcasters back and have your tanks attack". Any tip that might actually make a fight easier (that I couldn't have come up with myself without half a second's thought) is only given when they're absolutely necessary to triumph. Ideas about where to lure enemies, trap locations (I'm especially upset that traps aren't pointed out at all in the maps). The numbers of enemies present are kept intentionally vague, a la, "Oh, yeah, there's a few spiders over there."
3) The enemy information is perfunctory at best. Special attacks? Special defenses?
4) NOT A SINGLE SIDE QUEST IS COVERED!
5) Information that's just missing. Hey, did you know that there's an iron golem in the Ruins of Arvahn? Well, thanks to reading your guide, I certainly didn't!
6) And finally, the fact that item crafting is only covered in the most slipshod way. You'd think that the fact that you can make your own magical items, armor and weapons would be quite a draw, wouldn't you? It's a shame, then, that there isn't a SINGLE magical item crafting recipe covered in the entirety of this book!
Now, I'm a firm believer in adding something positive to any sort of negative criticism, but honest-to-god, the only thing I can come up with is "the pictures were nice". This 'book' was a travesty, seriously, and from now on, I'm going to opt for Prima books whenever possible. This is seriously inexcusable.
