Icewind Dale 2 Complete

Extremely dull with horrendous scaling.

I am doing this as a review with the EE Mod installed. Pros: - The game works very well and has lots of options to customise your characters as you level up. - Lots of dialogue options. - Loads of spells and skills. Cons: - The plot is dire. Once Chapter 3 started, I couldn't quite work out what I was really doing in terms of plot, only that I was being propelled along some very linear areas with monsters in them. - Chapters 1 & 2 felt solid and the gameplay was tough in places and had good challenge levels. - The battles don't scale well with your levels. It feels like the game has been designed around understanding the skills in more depth than someone would for a first playthrough and as a result, the difficulty curve gets exponentially higher with little warning. A good example is the Wyverns battle in Chapter 3 - I had very little difficulty before it, but they were killing my entire party within a minute of fighting. I've given it three stars because I can see why someone might enjoy the game, but beware - It is very monotonous and unforgiving.
