Icewind Dale - PC Game

You are looking at computer game Icewind Dale.

Icewind Dale, set in the Advanced Dungeons and Dragon's Forgotten Realms, is a party-based dungeon crawl in the popular Icewind Dale region created by famous author R. A. Salvatore. The game uses an enhanced version of BioWare's Infinity engine, which was used to power Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment. Icewind Dale offers six major areas with approximately fifty dungeon levels, an excellent story, multiple plot lines, sixteen different classes, improved multiplayer support, seventy monster-types, new interface, optional 3D graphics support to show off flashy spell effects, lighting and fogging. Expect sixty to eighty hours of gameplay from Icewind Dale.

Players can create six characters from standard AD&D 2nd Edition races and classes as they set off to find an ancient evil buried in the Spine of the World. Combat occurs in real time (no turns), but the action can be paused at any time in order to issue new orders, prepare spells, or respond to a new threat. The designers keep combat fast by allowing players to assign an artificial-intelligence combat script to individual characters. Your party can encounter a minor monster, fire arrows as it approaches, attack it with fighters when it gets close, and then get healed by the cleric when the fighting is done - all without your intervention.

Features:
* Ability to create your entire party
* Slick computer game conversion of AD&D 2nd Edition rules
* AD&D excitement; dozens of characters; an awesome story; 3D graphics; multiplayer action
* High experience point cap lets players wield tremendous power--and face equally powerful foes
