What made you play IWD?

Scoo Lightbringer · 11-02-2003, 02:24 PM

Hello folks, Scoo signing in. I´ve taken notice of IWD since it appeared in stores but never got to acquire it until last week as a PC best buy product (only had to shell out 15€ (thats Euro for those who cant display the symbol).

Tried out the demo that was supplied with BGII:SoA collector´s disc. What struck me was the intro movie and the music.. Got me really hooked. A very beautiful soundtrack indeed... Grand and intriguing..

Well, that ranting is me saying hello and querying about what made people take an interest in IWD [img]smile.gif[/img]

Firstly:
Hail and well met! I wish you luck with your search of knowledge in the Ironworks.
Secondly:
I started playing IWD because I liked it. It's the best answer I can come up with.

Welcome Scoo Lightbringer!

I got into Icewind Dale through Baldurs Gate.

Me and a friend got well into the first Baldurs Gate game, and nearly completed it together (each of us taking it in turns at the controls, but both of us making the all important decisions). During the times that he was unavailable to play, I wanted something that I could be playing on my own. So for christmas a few years back, I got Icewind Dale.

Actually, I have yet to complete IWD, but I am finally at the very end of the game and hope to complete it and start work on Heart of Winter over the next few days... [img]smile.gif[/img]

WELCOME TO IW

I got started when I went to my cousins one time and he had it. I got really addicted and we went through most of the game together, I though it was so good I got it myself!

First i didn`t like it becuase i am more of a BG player. Than i said to myself:"Stop comparing it to BG II!" so i did and played it as it was.

I was looking for a good ropleplaying game and chanced upon BG.... I loved it so very much. when i heard about IWD i knew it would have to be just as good.

I was looking for a RPG game after having finished Severance : Blade of Darkness (the best first person slasher of all time - IMHO

) I then happened across a special IWD + HoW deal and have not been disappointed!

Great game!
