Icewind dale II is an odd case. It cuts down on roleplaying scenarios and instead focuses on the combat elements of DnD 3e. And it does so incredibly well. There is huge depth to the combat, so many different classes, spells, and weapons, that anyone who enjoys the combat elements of DnD will adore this game. It's hardest difficulty, Heart of fury, is a powergamer's dream: it's a mode where powergaming is absolutely essential and only the most well constructed parties survive. That said, people who enjoy roleplaying will have less fun with this game, especially since the multiplayer is LAN only. Overall, this game is 5/5 for people who like DnD combat, and 3/5 for roleplayers. I would still recommend this game to anybody looking for a challenge.
