What I will admit though, is that Steam use special mechanism's to make sure that you cannot play 2 copies of the game at the same time.

This is issue only if you downloaded and installed some of the override packages of course. In fact, I got Neverwinter nights 2 Platinum (or whatever version it is - with both expansions) via Steam, I can re-download it as much as I want - no extra cash required. However, your previous override is not lost, all you need to do is to delete the "override" folder and rename "Override_Bak" folder to just "override". Installing this patch will restore default override. Patching your game to 1.69 is absolutely safe and does not alter/delete/mess up your save games. You can download the english dialog.tlk for this purpose HERE (3303). To do this, you need to manually swap the dialog.tlk file to the english (any version) one first.

If you have another language installed, either different language 1.69 critical rebuild or manually swapped dialog.tlk, you won't be able to install this patch. The Diamond Edition is bugged and is missing many files from patch 1.69, that can lead into crashing and other issues. If you have the Diamond Edition (GOG distributed), you still need to install this patch. English 1.69 Critical rebuild for game with both expansions only.
