My brother's just given me Icewind Dale and Heart of Winter and keeps on urging me to play it. I'm not so sure though. Is it really so good? [img]smile.gif[/img]

I would tell you that I own a LOT of games and am well known for starting and not finishing things. Once I got through Character generation and the first "Chapter" it got considerably more interesting and is now consuming a very large portion of my time. I believe it is one of the few games that will hold my attention to the end. We'll see.

Just my 2-cents,

I'd say - definitely. The complex plot, the wide variety of characters and monsters, the role-playing aspect and the incredible detail give it a clear edge over lesser games such as Diablo II, IMHO.

Work out a party with a variety of characters and give it a try.

Well, it's the only Black Isle Game I was able to get through all the way. ;) (Haven't done so with BG2...I generally peter out somewhere in Chapter 3 in BG2, just from being so overwhelmed with everything at that point).

IWD was, IMO, a great game. I'm playing HoW right now, and enjoying it as well.

Cheers,

it's a really good game, that has a big Twist. It chews you up and then spits you out. It's a great game, and you get to learn more about the land of Fareun. Have fun. I'm playin HoW as well, and boy is it fun, almost done with it.

Thanks people, I'll give it a go [img]smile.gif[/img]
