Description
Welcome to the Northern Faerûn, where winter never ends. In this harsh realm of ice only a few tough survivors live, and nowadays even those hardy few find the conditions a tad tougher.
You and your party have just arrived at a small fishing village, where an expedition will soon begin to help a troubled nearby tree-village, Kuldahar.
In this hack-n-slash cRPG you play a combat oriented
Baldur's Gate -- the graphics, the system, and the interface are just the same. The only real difference between the two is there is a lot more enemies to kill and much fewer NPCs to talk to. Nevertheless the title, with the other
Infinity Engine Games (Baldur's Gate,
Planescape: Torment), marks a great age in cRPG history.
Alternate Titles
- "冰风之谷" -- Chinese Title (Simplified)
- "冰風之谷" -- Chinese Title (Tradition)
- "Bingfeng zhi Gu" -- Chinese Title

Trivia
Icewind Dale hit the shelves the exact same time as
Blizzard's Diablo 2. Despite selling numbers that were below the
"Big D", Icewind Dale was a good commercial success and an add-on pack, Heart of Winter, is scheduled for release early 2001.
