Icewind Dale 2 Complete

I played this game when it came out. And just got back into it again. From a mechanics standpoint it is superior to baldurs gate. Comparatively, it has less narrative due to party members not having subplots. However, there is still a lot of story here. Character creation and development is better than baldurs gate as well. If you are a fan of DnD, or character creation and development, this is your bread and butter. FAR more to customize than most modern CRPGs. Even giants like divinity original sin 2 dont hold a candle to this in that regard. Combat is not about just run and gun. There is a LOT of strategy. Each action needs careful planning. And that planning extends beyond battles themselves. Lots of loot and gear to find. Lots of puzzles. Lots of fun battles. Lots of great story. Play a good guy, or a bad guy. Kill and pillage, or save the world. Its all up to you.

One of the best games of all time!

Fun story, though the first one is better on pacing, that still has tactical challenges worth solving.

A good old game. Does have a few bugs but playable.

There's not much to say, if you like combat, this game will be perfect for you. For sure the spells are much better than in Icewindale 1. There's also a story here, but it's very comic book-level. Not that it matters - you're a band of mercenaries. You gotta go earn your gold. I prefer this to icewindale 1, where you try to be some kind of epic hero. Also, being a sorcerer in this game is super fun.
