Atari releasing the BGs & IWDs on cheap DVDs


Recommended Posts

I didn't mind IWD2.  I actually enjoyed the game for the most part, outside of the forest and the trials.

i think the leading comment on the black isle boards was "whoever did the forest design should be shot."

comrade taks... just because.

Well, for one, it was freakin' annoying.

 

I gave up on getting through it until I finally broke down and used a walkthrough... :">

Haha. I was talking about IWD2 with my friend yesterday, and he used those exact same words.

Hah, the forest was easy. Anyone with one point on Wilderness Lore could do it.

...it be funny how most hated the cursed woods...was one o' me favorite parts; I's thought it was very well done...the redone Hand o' the Seldarine, on the other hand... :)"

 

 

...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

A long, long time ago, but I can still remember,
How the Trolling used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance",
And maybe we'd be happy for a while.
But then Krackhead left and so did Klown;
Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town.
Bad news on the Front Page,
BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage.
I can't remember if I cried
When I heard that TORN was recently fried,
But sadness touched me deep inside,
The day...Black Isle died.


For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way

I liked the woods. Well, it was frustrating at first, but in the end I enjoyed advancing there.

Too many trees in the forest. Makes it hard to find your way out without that one skill you never thought you were going to spend points on :lol:

 

I kind of liked it once I figured out how it worked :)

 

But I probably also belong to the minority who liked IWD2.

Both the collections have been dispatched today so I'll post if there are any bonus features. I suppose the soundtracks are too much to ask for. :blink:"

We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.

I liked all of the D&D IE games. I could play them and liked it. Something the community had to do for me for NWN. -.-

 

Edit: Ack! Icewind Dale is only playable in 640x480?

Patched, yes. My stats are in my sig. I uninstalled / reinstalled and it works fine w/ just the core game. Edit: Except I'm in Windows XP until I get my Linux harddrive replaced (fried: Good ol' Texas lightnin')

It was a bad install. One of the main GUI buttons didn't install right. That's what I get for multitasking.

 

Edit: Funny, the 1.06 patch corrupts my game no matter where I download it from.
