NWN:HotU …OC playthrough required?

I hate high level D&D, so I like the lowered level campaigns. I enjoyed both original campaigns. Couldn't stand MotB but that was because of the high level stuff, not the story. The story looks like it might have been good, but I couldn't get past killing gods by accidentally sneezing.

As much as I loved Baldur's Gate 1&2, I couldn't finish Throne of Bhaal for that exact reason. I definitely prefer the low to mid level game in D&D.

I actually prefer mid-to-high levels, mainly due to casters. I simply can't stand low level mages/sorcerers. They're useless. Clerics and Druids are a wee bit better as they can actually fight, but they're not much use as casters until later on.

Also, one of my favorite classes - Monk - is so rubbish it's a disgrace until mid-to-high levels. Then they skyrocket and become too powerful in a few levels. The whole process is not exactly well balanced.

Edit:

Hm? Kill gods? Pretty sure you can't kill any deities in MotB. Not even close.

Same here. And how well high levels are done depends on how the enemies are done and what the general difficulty is. For example, in MoTB playing as a wizard or sorcerer is very difficult despite very high levels. In HoTU it's a piece of cake.

I couldn't even finish two optional fights in MoTB, the one in the Ice Lodge and the one in a random cave with a regenerating jaguar. High levels didn't exactly help.
