Icewind Dale with Heart of Winter Expansion

Product Overview


Icewind Dale

Icewind Dale is a single or multiplayer role-playing game set in the granddaddy of all fantasy game worlds, the Forgotten Realms. Experience classic dungeon adventuring while focusing on the overall success of your entire group rather than a sole hero. Encounter a horde of new monsters to match brawn and wits against - over 50 to be exact!

While you can travel to the various cities in Icewind Dale, including the well-established city of Easthaven and the newly created outpost of Kuldahar, most of your adventuring will take place in deep, dark dungeons. Expect to find adventure in a variety of different locations, such as a lizardman lair, elvish ruins, and an ancient dwarvish settlement just to name a few. Overall there will be 11 regions with approximately 10 areas apiece, so about 100-120 different levels in the game. That is about 40-60 hours of gameplay to finish the entire game for the average gamer.

Features:

• Utilizes an enhanced version of the Bioware Infinity Engine as used in Baldur's Gate.
• Developed by Black Isle Studios, the group behind the best-selling role playing games Fallout 2 and Planescape: Torment.
• A completely new ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS adventure with an epic storyline in the tradition of Baldur's Gate.
• Includes 3D technology developed for Baldur's Gate II that allows for incredible spell and environment effects.

• Play as a single player or in a group of up to six people with full LAN and internet multiplayer support with free game matching service on MPlayer.

Icewind Dales: Heart of Winter

Far across the icy tundra, the distant sounds of battle drums herald a new call to adventure. In the midst of the harshest winter in decades, the barbarian tribes have united under a mysterious new king and threaten to take up arms against the people of ten towns.

There they must forestall the barbarian invasion by discovering the secret that lies locked within the frozen heart of winter.
