Come to think of it, I suppose that finding that plant for the village healer qualified as a side quest, but it was really pretty pathetically small to justify calling is a "quest". More of a little errand.


Perhaps, Suomo could have asked you to do some other "quest" without actually requiring it to get thru the Fell Wood.

Or perhaps, Iselore could have asked you to go over to the Vale of Shadows (an area from IWD1) for some reason or other. Heck, maybe Lysan's ghost is over there and is really PO'd at you for killing the Aurilites way back in Chapter 2 and is raising a little army of undead to take out her fury on Kuldahar.
Heh, you just spoiled me!
Ah I'm gonna survive it. Just staying at the Ice Palace Battle game. Now I'm really excited about the Holy Avenger (but don't tell me).
Anyway IWD is not as plot-based as BG,SoA and ToB.

Concernign the 3E Rules: I like 2nd ed. better - just not comfortable with everybody being able to become and use everything. I like restrictions: mages not able to wear armor, cleric weapon code, ...
Anyway I'm just glad that there is still another Infinity Engine game around else I would be playing SoA all day long.
