Hey all Icewinders,
I've only just recently started playing through Icewind Dale for the third time, the essential reason being that the first time I did was without Heart of Winter, the second time with it and now the third will be with Trials of the Luremaster aswell.
So whilst there's the variety of parties possible and the sheer tactical addiction that the game throws at you, there's also its atmospheric wintery ambience (Kuldahar often becoms like a warm cup of tea in a comforting way...) and immersion. For me its also the story aspects - they are albeit, minor compared to the BG series, but I'm still curious as to what dimensions ToTLM will add to the game.
Also if you listen to the gorgeous soundtrack, one can be made quite nostalgic for the game and so a craving to replay it starts floating through one's brain, like it did for me when I downloaded the Easthaven theme!
Cheers,
Cerebrodragon
