help Icewind Dale FAQ
Do players create one hero or an entire party in Icewind Dale?
Players create and control a full party of up to six adventurers rather than recruiting a fixed cast of story companions. This makes party composition, class balance, spell selection, and equipment especially important.
How does Icewind Dale differ from Baldur's Gate?
Both use BioWare's Infinity Engine and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules, but Icewind Dale emphasizes dungeon exploration and tactical combat over companion dialogue. Black Isle Studios developed Icewind Dale, while BioWare developed the original Baldur's Gate.
Is the game an adaptation of R.A. Salvatore's Icewind Dale novels?
No, it tells an original story set in the same Forgotten Realms region associated with Drizzt Do'Urden. Its events take place well before Salvatore's best-known Icewind Dale adventures.
What does Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition include?
Beamdog's Enhanced Edition combines the original campaign with the Heart of Winter expansion and the free Trials of the Luremaster adventure. It also adds modern display support and content restored from the original game's development.
