Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition

A well needed enhancement

I am pleased with this - more than any other Beamdog "upgrade". Maybe its because modders had not made this title such a priority. Maybe its because Beamdog didnt shoe horn in unwanted content. Whatever it is, it works on this title. Very playable. Different to Baldurs gate in that you dont recruit people, you make your party from the start. What the game loses in storylines (for NPC's) it makes up for in combat. The enemy makeup and, perhaps most importantly, placement on the map, makes up for it. Hitherto useless spells like stinking cloud suddenly have a purpose. Ranged weapons are no longer a luxury but a necessity. And intelligent spell selection is of paramount importance. Its a bit like the final fantasy tactics version of final fantasy.
