help Icewind Dale II FAQ
Why does Icewind Dale II use different rules from the first Icewind Dale?
Icewind Dale II uses a real-time adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons Third Edition rules, including feats, skills, and more flexible multiclassing. The first Icewind Dale instead used Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Second Edition mechanics.
Do I create one hero or an entire party in Icewind Dale II?
You create and control a full adventuring party rather than receiving a fixed cast like the companions in Baldur's Gate II. Party composition matters because combat, dialogue skills, race, class, and alignment can all open or close options.
Where does Icewind Dale II take place?
The campaign begins when the party sails to Targos, which is under attack by a goblin-led force called the Legion of the Chimera. The journey later crosses locations such as the Shaengarne River, the Ice Temple, and the Severed Hand.
Why was Icewind Dale II omitted from the official Enhanced Editions?
Beamdog has explained that the original source code could not be located, making the type of commercial remaster produced for other Infinity Engine games impractical. A community project called Icewind Dale II: Enhanced Edition has instead created extensive fixes and optional revisions for the original PC game.
