Ok, when i bought my BG2 It was on DVD and i got HOW free with it (clever marketing idea eh?), and i was just wondering *Is* IWD worth buying, because i have BG2 SoA and ToB and i like them alot. Or Should i wait untill IWD 2?

Comments are allways helpful

If I was I your postion I would get it is a good one. Most people would say its not as good as the BG series beacuse there is no NPC in your party, but that i feel gives you more of an excuse to stop and think of a good team instead of just taking on people how come by.

so I would do it, it has a geat tree town of Kuldarhar, makes you feel like you just walked into a forest elven home. so I would do it.

IWD is available for some fairly low prices now. With a FREE copy of HOW and the TOL expansion pack available for free as well, how can you possible NOT buy IWD!?? [img]smile.gif[/img]

I have only recently gotten into RPGs - and gaming in general. I saw Icewind Dale for a tenner in a shop in my Town Centre, so I bought it straight off. It looks SO good - lovely manual, colour map included, quick reference card... I want to get around to playing it soon. I like its idea of developing your own party. I wanted that aspect in Baldur's Gate.

I still haven't finished Baldur's gate yet - I only just started playing it a week ago! It has utterly addicted me, so I can only imagine IWD will also rob me of anyt spare time I have left.

I've gotten really far in IWD and it is an awesome game. But once you beat it you should go for the really hard-core RPG games like Pool of Radiance because that takes a lot more talent to beat.

Try changing to Heart of Fury mode in IWD and start a new game with a first level party and THEN tell me that IWD is easy to beat. [img]smile.gif[/img]

As for POR2, i already have enough coasters around the house, I don't need any more.

<font color = lightgreen>Come on, Micah. You would need talent to beat POR2--the talent to suffer through a bad game! [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] He must be referring to the old gold-box Pool of Radiance....</font>

That's patience, not talent ... lol

Well, if it's the old gold box series that is a different matter. But at least I did say qualify my comment to refer to por2. lol [img]smile.gif[/img]

IWD is one of the best RPGs out there!!
As for POR2 i was one of the misleads that now have that coaster.

<font color = lightgreen>To be fair to Malystrom, he may very well be the only IronWorks member who actually liked PoR2. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] </font>
