Product Description
A few of the monsters: Cyclops: One-eyed horrors who usually live in hills and mountains, the cyclopses are ruthless, dim-witted behemoths. Standing as high as three large men, the cyclops literally towers over most opponents. They typically like to pound targets with their big, meaty fists. Watch out -- they are not to be approached casually. Goblins: An all-time favorite stock enemy of adventuring companies, the goblin is a creature with too-little intelligence to act out its most devi

 So, you like BG I & II...? July 15, 2006

Then maybe you shouldn't consider playing this game. Though I suppose that would depend upon what elements you liked about them. To be fair, I haven't finished Icewind Dale I or II. Of course, there's a reason.
You have a six member party. You don't get to pick those party members up through interactions or interesting story lines. You have to create them yourself. If you think fighting is the most fun, engaging, and important part of an RPG, maybe it won't matter to you. Sidequests? Nonexistent. Towns are not a central feature. Like an even less fun Dungeon Siege, maybe.
 TOTALLY AMAZING GAME!!! May 2, 2005

Icewind Dale has to be one of the BEST computer RPG games of all time! It has everything one looks for in such a game; from an incredible setting, to a highly original plot, to excellent multiple roleplaying options, to outstanding graphics, to extraordinary accuracy in relation to Dungeons & Dragons, and much, much more!
There is something here for everyone as the variety of challenges is large indeed, including battles, puzzle solving, and dialogue among others.
The game is set on Toril and specifically in Faerun. It deals with a great evil that has arisen and descended upon the region bringing the people misery and despair.
The story as a whole is excellent! The plot is so incredibly well written and presented that the gamer feels that they have been transported to another plane of existence and are actually present among the characters, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel, sensing what they sense. Moreover, the game does a great job of presenting the distinct cultures and civilizations of the inhabitants/peoples of Fearun, and Icewind Dale in particular. This has, without a doubt, been achieved as a result of a great deal of research that has gone into learning and understanding the numerous and often complex characteristics of the Forgotten Realms world.
Strongly recommended along with the Baldur's Gate series and Planescape: Torment.
Trust me, you will not regret it!
