Titan Quest, Guild Wars or Neverwinter Nights 2

Gentlemen:

I have a question for you all. My wife and I both play games together. My daughter who is 5 has her own computer and has reached a level, where she is a pretty decent gamer. The three of us played World of Warcraft Together for a while, but we wanted a more story based game.

So out of the three games listed above, which would be the best for the three of us to go adventuring together?

I've played two of the three - Titan Quest and NWN2. I've logged a lot more hours on Titan Quest, which is surprising to me because I was really looking forward to NWN2.

I know a couple of other people have also felt like NWN2 was fun, but not THE GAME that they expected while waiting for it to come out. To some extent, I think Oblivion overshadowed NWN2 in their minds as that group had played a ton of Oblivion prior to firing up NWN2.

I've played Guild Wars and NWN2. Guild Wars would be good since, unlike other MMORPGs (which Guild Wars is not really one, but...), 3 people probably could play through it all without any outside help. But it's a bit weak when it comes to story, although more story than WoW (read: not lore. WoW has a ton of lore you can look into, but all of the best "story" stuff is tied to the 40 man raids, so if you don't do them, you're missing out on the story elements of the game)

NWN2 is more story than Guild Wars, but I haven't really played it that much. Much less action than Guild Wars and the fights take longer. The biggest plus for NWN2 is, like NWN, there should be plenty of user created mods to keep you busy after you finish the main plot and any expansions (although I have not really looked yet). And just a note: I'm not sure how multiplayer-friendly NWN2 is right now.

You could probably get Guild Wars for pretty cheap these days.

I've played Titan Quest and NWN2. NWN2 is clearly the answer for a more story driven game. Quite surprisingly to me, Titan Quest is as fun to me as NWN2, but the level of story line isn't even close compared to NWN2.

NWN2 has the best storyline. Titan Quest is the "funnest". I'd also recommend the new game Silverfall. It has a better storyline than Titan Quest, but is very similar in other aspects. The only real negative is the mini-map is kind of funky (the arrow on the mini-map shows the way the camera is facing, not the way the character is facing which can be confusing).
