The rant is still valid though - the designers took *way* to many liberties assuming that all players would be well versed in D&D 3.5 rules, and the nuances to camera control operation.

I personally hated the OC for NWN *1*, but the little tutorial at the beginning was substantially better than the one for this game.

For the most part though you do NOT want to be able to "auto-move" your character, doing so will often push you past "events" and often pick-up a trail of opponents that can quickly turn into a mob at your destination.

I *so* wish they had Temple of Elemental Evil's turn-based system (..at least as a "toggle on/off" feature). That way you could "auto-move" and if you were engaged by an opponent it would then "drop-into" the turn based attack system - among other things it would preclude most of the "pile-up" mob problems.
