I've been away and look what i missed!(that's what I get for going to LaX practice) So natch everyone's entitled to their opinion. As far as mine goes there's not really too much joy in FR. DL well DL is lightyears better than FR, the charachters in general are better. The enemies (There were TONS of NPCs! Draconians being the best widespread threat I'd wanna see. Aside from them there were the regular staples of any D&D evil horde, goblins, orcs, minotaurs, etc. etc.Of course there are the dragons!!!! tons to fight aside from NPCs, then there's undead...)
Now to address the "boring" mage nay-sayers hey, how many whites and different blacks and reds were there in BG? How many more would there be if those were the only colors? ya know I think that's not even a sacrifice for all the cool stuff that would come with it all.
As far as story...there could be any number of side quests stemming from the chronicles. I'd suggest getting Weis and Hickman to input some ideas, make it fun. And what says it has to be with the same story? Is Icewind dale specifically about the book? are there no surprrises? No I'd say do it like BG...some better known NPC's show up at random moments. I'd say it should happen just after the ledends trilogy ends. Still dragons and dragon higlords and all but still a grey area in which to form a video game.
