NWN2 is less frustrating, yes, but only until I kept coming across a game-breaking bug.
Yes, you are. I'm talking about having a simpler system [ala NWN2 or Dragon Age, or even Planescape: Torment], which you interpret to mean that I want a SIMPLE system. Those games aren't SIMPLE, they're SIMPLER. KotOR is simpler still, and ME2 is simple. However, I don't necessarily consider "simpler=bad", as I know you do, nor do I consider "more complex=amazing", as I also know you do.
I want something more towards the middle. A battle system that doesn't feel like it's playing itself, but also doesn't require me to have a D&D rulebook open on my lap the whole time.
That doesn't, however, mean that I'm going to stop playing BG2.
And my issues with BG1 were more than just difficulty, but you seem to be narrowing in on that and ignoring the others.

Sometimes you get the scorpion.
