Description

Pick up after the conclusion of Icewind Dale, peace has returned to Icewind Dale. Or so it seems as there is a plot afoot by the northern Barbarians to attack the Ten Towns. It is up to you and your party to investigate and stop this plot.

This expansion on the original game is definately along the same lines. The game focuses on epic battles and powerful magics, relying on the plot only to provide a background for the fighting and spell-casting. You can import your party from the original game and continue your adventure. Includes new weapons, armors, and enemies. Battles are now much more Baldur's Gate 2-esque than in the original, relying heavily on strategy and spell-casting to combat very powerful enemies.

Alternate Titles

Trivia

A free expansion pack for Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter was made available after the release of this add-on. It is called Trials of the Luremaster and features new areas, new quests, new challenges, new character portraits, monsters, and more. The pack plugs directly into the game and was created due to criticism that Heart of Winter was too short.
