Black Isle Studios, the RPG development division inside Interplay is unfortunately no more, but they did leave an outstanding legacy behind. Game series such as Fallout,
Baldur’s Gate or
Icewind Dale were on the lips of every player for a very long time. With Fallout 3 already in development with Bethesda Softworks (the creators of the Elder Scrolls series from which Morrowind and Oblivion are their greatest successes) all is left for us to wonder about is the fate of the provinces in the Forgotten Realms. Fortunately many former Black Isle Studios employees went working for Obsidian Entertainment and can already be proud of their latest project – Neverwinter Nights 2.
Icewind Dale II, just like its predecessor Baldur’s Gate II, is based on the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition ruleset, however due to the extensive hack-and-slash experience in-game it was compared more often to the Diablo series and it was comparable in importance to some of the greatest titles out the same year – Morrowind and Neverwinter Nights. Along the 3rd edition character classes such as Barbarian, Sorcerer and Monk there are many sub-races available too, such as Drow and Tieflings. With a much larger section of Icewind Dale to explore now, the player and his party will travel to the village of Targos, ice temples, ice fortresses, the town of Kuldahar (which you also visited in the first title of the series) and the mountains that surround the settlement as well as some elven ruins. Enemies are plenty and extremely varied. Some of the monsters made their way from the previous Icewind Dale, some from the Baldur’s Gate series of the
Planescape: Torment. Goblins, white dragons, a clan of Duergar, evil Driders, orogs, yuan-ti and the twin half-demonic creatures leading the Legion of the Chimera (Isair and Madae) will all try to kill your hero and his party. The final battle will be at the monastery of the Black Raven and it will prove a veritable challenge for your fighting skills.
The titanic battle with the twins must end to your advantage. So if you find yourself in need of a few tricks to keep up feel free to look over the following list of cheats and the list of items you can easily get for your character. To enable cheat keys you must first press
