I loved Icewind Dale and Icewind Dale II, they are what got me into playing RPG games so I have fond memories of them both.
I only recently discovered that the designer of Icewind Dale/lead designer of the Icewind Dale II has a personal project The Black Hound. Needless to say I am quite excited about this, especially since it will include a couple of characters from my favourite games. The only way this could be any better to me is if it was set in Icewind Dale itself! I really look forward to getting my hands on this, so much so that I had to register just to say it. :D -------------------- ~R.I.P. Adam aka "Ildánach", my big brother 25/04/08~ |

Welcome to our community, Kasabian!
I have been a fan of TBH ever since it was first announced to be in production (in 2001 I think?). Unfortunately, BIS canned the product which was to be called BG3. Now, our friend Sawyer is trying to use the NWN2 engine to recreate what was supposed to be that game. I don't even remember when he first announced that he was working on this mod. Unfortunately, I am being quite pessimistic on whether it will ever be released. It could take another couple of years or it may never be released at all. I do think it would have been faster if Sawyer had used the original Mystary engine as approximately 60% of the game was already done. Can we have some update please? -------------------- "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them! Quick, throw nuts!" -Minsc

SoZ cleared up a large number of technical issues/wishes that I wanted to see in the engine, so you should be hearing/seeing more soon.

If push comes to shove, he can always enslave Monty, Rob, Anthony, Nathaniel or some other OEI members to help him out. Such are the powers of an Aliens Project Director.

Just as long we don't see a criss-cross of assets. The last thing I want my wizard to face is a damn face hugger.

More than likely.

Unless Atari/Obsidian releases a patch that includes all of the various things that make overland maps possible, yes.
