This game is awesome. Is it has some luck involved yes because its dnd there is always luck involved when you have dice deciding how well you do. Does it make or break it? No! This game is older which means you have to understand the rules to play the game i have beat this gave 5 times, so you need to plan your party accordingly it will be difficult but managable. Every Party Needs One Tank One Healer One Theif One Mage. You can change the other two parties members to other classes and still beat the game. This also means you need to plan their stats accordingly. Read the rules because this game does not cater to players who dont take time to figure out what each character role should be. This game should be difficult but the first chapter to me is always the most difficult. But after awhile you will figure out how to fight the routine battles and then have to get into some serious planning for the harder ones. Just like dnd their is always some trick to make the battle easier. Isnt that the fun of these older games is that they are difficult? Everytime i finish the game i get a huge sense of accomplishment. It is a blast the locations are different and varied lots of lore to read to learn about the world around you. I love the two Icewinddale games and which their was a third one sometimes a good old fashion kill and loot game is fun.
