Well, I don't find it too bad.. I mean, gold is adequate but it's not falling from the sky... especially if you've ever had to enlist those stingy clerics to resurrect or re-incarnate a character or two! As for the excess of magic weapons.. I have to say that they don't come quick enough! Monster after monster requires magic weapons just to be able to damage it, and though I'm still in chapter two, I can only see this getting worse.
But I believe that all this is intentional... Icewind Dale was meant to be a very combat-oriented fast-paced dungeon hack type of game, and a big part of that is finding kick assed magical stuff with which you can smite some very nasty monsters, who descend upon you almost constantly. I'm loving it every step of the way!
