Dammit! you need IW2 to play it

?

Thats a shame because I don't have it.
How much is IW2 nowaydays in the shops (Europe)?

Two weeks might be a tad optimistic since I've been running a bit slowly (real life intervenes). Basically, the game works but there are a few areas (e.g., mind flayer jail) or concepts (e.g., NPCs leaving the party, doing work and then rejoining the party) that don't work well.

Up to this point all of the effort has been focused on stopping the thing from crashing and making sure that it mimics BG2 fairly closely. It pretty much doesn't crash anymore and the mimicry levle is high.

In a few days we'll move on to more serious game balance testing and discussion. The beta is only "closed" in the sense that you have to email me about it if you'd like to participate. I encourage everyone at Ironworks to take a look, especially when it comes time to debate the difficulty of the converted battles.

Mate, watch out for Spam Bots

You should put some spaces between words when posting your email adress. Weimer; will this be TOB compatible?

Thanks for your concern, but I get fifty spam mails per day anyway, so I stopped caring.

I fogot how much Icewind Dale 2 costs, but I got mine from Amazon.com (its all quite cheap, though there is the postage...

and the games are European! though nothing can beet getting Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn, And Baldur's Gate: Throne of Bhaal for £19.99 at Format)

I'm still waiting for the dark elf trillogy from amazon, but unfortunately it must be out of print, as it has taken over 2 months

I'd check it out, but it doesn't work for ToB. If it did, then it'd be a different story, as IWD 2 isn't my kind of game, and you can still play BG2.
