Icewind Dale 2 Complete

icewind dale 1 and 2 are very amazing games and have great graphics and storyline and its replay value is great because i love to try out new parties and i still even appreciate it in 2010 when there are alot more advanced games out

I found that BG2 had a lot more focus in its gameplay, and it was just an overall more interesting game. LD2 especially has such a limited plot focus, and the areas you visit are very standard (like the first ID). There are a lot of snowy areas and tombs. Needless to say I would wait to see if they can get BG2 up on here before picking up this game. Choose the better one first. At the very least if you haven't played BG1 you should do that one first. They aren't related plotwise, but BG1 has a much more compelling storyline.

As much as I would love to have delved into a proper third-edition D&D game, I can't actually play this game at all. It either loads in an odd corner of the screen when I set it into fullscreen, or the windowed version is so tiny that it's painful to read-- and if I try to shift my window, it makes the mouse stop working. Sadly I feel like I wasted my money and cannot recommend this to anyone.

As an avid role-player from right around the time shortly after the game was discovered (not invented...who knows when that really happened), I find all the Baldur's Gate Games as well as Icewind Dale 1 to be very pleasurable and entetertaining games. But this game was an attempt by someone not from TSR at taking over the reins as well as the gaming system, and trying to fix something that was never broken to begin with. The only possible reason for doing so would be to try to create more revenue from an old source....like beating a dead horse in a way, or trying to extract blood from a stone in another. In my humble (and rather old) opinion, the game stinks!

The best, improved by the addition of THIRD EDITION rules of D&D!
