Icewind Dale II

[romeo_longsword]

I have played almost all of the good DnD CRPG, BG 1 and 2 + expansion packs, IWD I and PST.

 

I wonder if I should complete my experience in playing IWD as well, mind you its a 2 years old game and I wounder if its any good still.

 

Its

I liked it, but it didn

[romeo_longsword]

One of the reason I feel like getting it is because of the portraits IWD has. It might sound stupid but its like a tribute to the artist.

[Ellester]

Well, besides the portraits the graphics in general are the best of any of the IE games. But, that

Does it work on XP?

[Iolo]

Yes it works fine on XP. That's where I played it.

[romeo_longsword]

Dam, Amazon out of stock and dont think they are getting any more.

[EnderAndrew]

Not likely since BIS is gone. Check Ebay.

[romeo_longsword]

I dont like the fact that I am buying a product off another source beside a shop or some sort of a retailer.

 

That means I have to open some sort of account and worrying about package and if the box that comes with it its sealed, damanged or what not.

[Rosbjerg]

I have both games .. and I really like IWD2 .. for a multitude of reasons, I think it's a good story (not as great as 1 but good), and the character options are way better than IWD1 imo ..

 

I would give IWD1 a 9/10 and IWD2 a 8/10!

I really like how you visit all the old places in the sequal and see how it's changed..

Wasn't J.E. Sawyer lead designer of that game?

IWD 2 is defintiely a challenge. I should try to go through that game again solo.

[Iyanden]

i think the hardest part of the game was making your party...wow, that took FOREVER. the first and last chapters were really fun to play.

[Rosbjerg]

I'm really wierd in that sense .. I love making characters .. and would make like 50 different parties just for the sake of doing it! ahh so good ..

[roshan]

If you like making parties, then you will enjoy icewind dale 2.

"If you like making parties, then you will enjoy icewind dale 2."

 

Simply not true for all people. <_<

[Darque]

Character creation was painfully simple in IWD2

[Rosbjerg]

I still loved it .. silly me .. especially the music!

[EnderAndrew]

I like making table-top characters for good systems, such as the World of Darkness. There's a lot more to it than rolling attributes.

[merry andrew]

I had a lot of fun with that game. Very memorable.

Back To topic ->

 

ID 2, it's not worth anyones time really.

 

but then again, if you got nothing else to do and you can get it cheap....

 

 

As before everything in this post is... IMO

"There's a lot more to it than rolling attributes."

 

If this is a silly crack at D&D; I hope you realize that its characetr creation is so far past rolling 6 ability scores which takes up such a small, small, small, small, small amount of characetr creation effort. Just plain silly.

[EnderAndrew]

Where is the portion of D&D character creation where you develop personality, ethics, background, etc?

 

You can tell a lot about a roleplaying system by taking a peek at the character sheet.

 

D&D is about "roll" playing. You can "role" play in D&D despite the rules. But that's not what the rules cater to.
