| | Icewind Dale series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Icewind Dale II is the sequel to Icewind Dale, which is based on the Bioware Infinity Engine, and incorporates nearly all of the changes and additions to the series made by the Heart of Winter and Trials of the Luremaster expansion packs. | | | Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter is an expansion pack to Icewind Dale that introduced many changes and additions to the original game. | | | In 2000, Icewind Dale was released to mostly positive reviews, although the game drew some criticism for its linearity and lack of character development when it came to the player's party. |

| | A 'spin-off' from the Baldurs Gate series Icewind Dale uses the same engine and AD&D rule system. | | | Icewind Dale is one of the largest role-playing games ever created for the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. | | | Developed using the Advanced Dungeon & Dragon's rules by the Black Isle team that brought you Baldur& and Planescape Torment, Icewind Dale features some of the most formidable combat and engaging gameplay that you've ever seen in a role-playing game. |

| | CanadianGamer.ca - Icewind Dale II Review |
| | It is not necessary to know the full plot of the first game or to have even played it at all; Icewind Dale II does a good job in presenting a new story with embedded elements for those who have been following the Forgotten Realms series. | | | The audio is also superb; in general Icewind Dale II puts a coat of polish on the character voices, music and spell sound effects that the series is known for. | | | In contrast to Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale II does not have a "recommend" feature; new players may be overwhelmed by the large choices of spells, feats and items at many points during the game while veteran Third Edition players will welcome the amount of choice. |

| | Icewind Dale II, like its predecessors the Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate series of games, is set in the Forgotten Realms world of the Dungeons and Dragons universe. | | | Built on the same engine as the prior games, but embracing the latest 3rd Edition Rules of Dungeons and Dragons, Icewind Dale II is a little bit of the old and a little bit of the new. | | | If you did not play Icewind Dale, you do not need to worry about coming into the middle of a story; Icewind Dale II stands on its own. |

| | Gaming Illustrated - Icewind Dale II Review |
| | The Icewind Dale series is by design more linear and combat-oriented than Baldur’s Gate, so it’s refreshing that the designers added so much RPG richness to the tunnel toward the ultimate bad guys. | | | But in Icewind Dale 2 (IWD2) – Black Isle Studios&; final Infinity Engine DandD game – the orcs and goblins have their revenge in battles that rival any CRPG in the category of “epic.” Similarly, the Infinity Engine again demonstrates that, although its look is dated, its game still delivers. | | | Yes, IWD2 is at its heart mostly the same game as the original Icewind Dale, featuring a player-created party, a linear story, and a stronger emphasis on combat to differ from its hall-of-fame sire, Baldur’s Gate. |

| | After the unexpected popularity of Drizzt in The Icewind Dale Trilogy, this prequel trilogy elaborating on his past, journey to the surface, and initiation into the ways of a ranger came out. | | | This book is light and fun for the most part, hearkening back to the wistful tone of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, but takes a dramatic nosedive into the abysmal pits of depression in the last few pages. | | | It is arguably the best in the series, primarily due to its focus on Drizzt, the sinister world of drow intrigue, and utter lack of pesky dwarves. |

| | To outline too much of the plot would be a spoiler to anybody who has not yet read the first two books in the Icewind Dale series, as the events of this book follow directly on from those books. | | | I only have this Icewind Dale trilogy of Drizzt books, but if this is representative of Salvatore's novels I don't think I am missing out on much by staying away from them. | | | True the Icewind Dale Trilogy was written before the Dark Elf Trilogy but clearly Drizzt is the main character and the Dark Elf Trilogy is better than the Icewind Dale trilogy. |

It wasn't so much the story of baldur's gate 2, but the combat which I really enjoyed. | | | There's a lot to do in that game, especially with the two expansion packs. |

| | Get Baldur's gate 2 instead, the best roleplaying game there is, which is also more of a thinker game and has more of a plot, as opposed to the hack and slash style of play that Icewind Dale employs. | | | I don't own Baldur's Gate 2 yet but this game is a nice indifferent change from BG but keeping within the realms of the forgotten world. | | | It's brilliant, although slightly harder then Baldur's Gate in the early levels, this can be overcome be spending time setting up good characters at the start which is well worth it in the end and enables enjoyable gameplay. |
