Many of you were wondering what the next Atari-Hasbro release will be. Some may have started losing hope after seeing no release yesterday. Well, here's to all of you who pay attention to our site not only on Tuesday and Thursday!

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/icewind_dale_complete]Icewind Dale is one of the best-known role-playing games out there. It is often compared to Baldur's Gate, since both games use the same engine the same mechanics and are set in the Forgotten Realms universe. Today's release a lot more combat-oriented, but that doesn't mean you won't find a compelling story and an abundance of quests here as well. A very cool feature (powergamers rejoice!) is that you can, and should, create an entire party before you start your journey - stats, skills, portraits, descriptions, alignments, everything. Overall, a fantastic cRPG, complete with two expansion packs - Heart of Winter and Trials of The Luremaster.

I just received a message from an IWD devotee on Last.fm (thank you Dominuz). I bought the game (again) for the original soundtrack. Thank you GoG! :D

Wow, GOG thanks for publishing Icewind Dale, I really like this game and surely going to buy it... but not yet as I wait for BG2 and what is more important for TOEE :-P

P.S. GOG, could you please speak to Brain Fargo and publish Wasteland? As a genuine Fallout lover I would like to see the ancestor of this game in here.

Fantastic! This game is a REAL underrated classic (being overshadowed by BG, Diablo, and NWN at the time), and I'm glad it's getting a new lease on life here at the home of good old games! I may buy it (which would be my first purchase for a game I already have on disk!), but I'm gonna wait just a LITTLE longer to see if GoG has Temple of Elemental Evil up its sleeve, which I haven't played. Hell, I'd get IWD2 before IWD1, because although I own it I haven't actually played it yet... it's a little tricky to get working on Vista.

EndlessKnight: I used to have the Icewind Dale: Ultimate Collection. I sold it as I wasn't pleased with the lack of character development and lessened story aspects when compared to Baldur's Gate...
I have a recommendation. The community has made an NPC pack for Icewind Dale. Fenix linked to it on page two. It features several NPCs to join you on your quest with full stories, banter, and even romance options, a la Baldur's Gate.

Now, I'm gonna be honest, I personally didn't like the pack. But it just wasn't for me; others may love it. Give it a try.

Edit: I made the same 'its' vs 'It's' mistake.... :(
