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

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?

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.

Cool.

Looking forward to seeing more!

this is good news ... can't wait for a more revealing update. KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE lol

 

best of luck Mr. Sawyer on finishing this mod

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.

NWN2: Ripley goes to Faerun

well there is a creature in one of the monster manuals (I Believe) that comes close to a face hugger (in appearence anyway). can't remember what it's called though. could be in fiend folio too.

Does this mean we need SOZ to play TBH?

More than likely.

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

Sounds like a marketing ploy!!~

You sound like a marketing ploy.

Your mom is -

 

*ahem*

 

Back on course...

So can we expect some hot overland map action in TBH then? Oh, and could you update the site with another paragraph of text?

Well, I admit I wasn't expecting to hear such good news. Keep up the good work, Sawyer! I am definitely looking forward to your mod!

Great news!

So if the rumours are true, we're going to get double helpings of Baldur's Gate 3 - a full game developed by whoever, plus this mod based on the original design. How brilliant is this?

Now all we need is Bethesda to release a toolset for Fallout 3, and MCA & Co. to use it to make the FO3 they envisioned...

Already out.

It would be sweet if Bethesda hired Obsidian to do a Fallout Spinoff based on Van Buren, so at least it could see the light of day.
