Portage isn't the best way to install wine, your best off installing off of cvs. If you don't know how to to that, there is directions at www.winehq.com. After you compile that, run winecfg, you will get a nice gui that should be self explanitory. |

You don't need wine to play NWN, as Bioware developed a Linux client, you can download it at their website, more info at http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/linuxclient.html, but you have to register yourself at Bioware (just your e-mail and a few personal data).
Cheers!!
PS: Bioware rocks |
