Icewind Dale

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.

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.
