Summary: "Strategy Guide" might be a little optimistic
Comment: This is perhaps the worst strategy guide I have ever purchased. The only thing I can say that is even a little positive is that it has maps. Other than that this was a waste of money. There are at best a small blurb on a very select few side quests. No information on item creation and even the walkthrough portion is lacking critcal details. Go to GameFaqs and save your money.

Summary: Very good detail!!
Comment: Invariably, when you play this game, you're not going to have a clue as to where to go or what to do next. To this extent, getting this guide is a major Godsend. This gives you maps for what to do, where to go and how to get your alignment to the one you're aiming for. So if you plan to spend several hours trying to figure out the next big move in Neverwinter Nights 2, this is the guide that puts it all together for you.

Summary: Good but not Great
Comment: I have only just gotten to the city Neverwinter, but have already noticed a number of things that don't sync up in the game and the guide. The most likely reason is patches have changed certain things. All in all a good guide, but not the best I have ever had. The maps are just so so, often not containing all the information that you might need, as well as some maps not being included at all. Also the orientation of the maps is often much different than the starting point in game, which calls for alot of book turning. There also doesn't seem to be a list of crafting recipes in the book, only a list of items that you can make.

You most likely will need another source of information (online guide, etc) if you are like me and want to find and locate all the items and quests located in this game.

Good luck!!!

Summary: NWN2 Guide
Comment: It was very informative on the new structure of NWN2 over what we are used to from the original NWN but as most guides go it could use more detail on actual gameplay (walk-through) and not spend so much of the book on character creation & game stats.

Summary: THE MISSING GAME GUIDE - SOLD AS A...STRATEGY GUIDE!
Comment: Do you remember when games were an actual an art-form and were sold with respect to the paying customers? Innovative games that came in beautiful detailed cardboard boxes. Included were a number of artwork items (paper or cloth maps, pewter figurines) and thick, detailed guide booklets. Nowadays, all we get is a cheap plastic case. Usually broken.

Well, now the faceless accountants that run the gaming business decided to take the next shameless step: they are trying to sell the Game Guide as a Strategy Guide! Yes, this is the case here: a weak walkthrough (one can find much more detailed and helpful ones on the internet) and then whatever should have been included in a classic Game Guide: general maps, weapons list (without unique items), and incomplete lists of NPCs & enemies (bestiary).
Check your good old BALDUR's GATE: the above were all included in the Game guide!

My advice: Don't even think about it!
