    Dope content, thanks for sharing knowledge related to this game, I'm playing with a customized party, first playthrough, so far really inmersive and the storytelling is quite unique.

      Customised party is the way to go! And yeah, even though it's an older game I think the storytelling has held up very well over the years. And thanks so much for the kind words!

    This game is just so damn nostalgic for me. The music and atmosphere was top-notch.

    Thoughts I would think it would be cool if the bar scene tavern could be a place where your character interacts with a different patrons and the choices you make their determine which one of them will bond with you and make your party to adventure fourth sally forth into the Frosti Wilds

      You definetely get more of the personalization in Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 compared to Icewind Dale.

      Not like current games. You'll have to look up a tutorial, TBH, as I can't recall.

    Yo are you over 50? You sound young but that beard with the gray streaks is confusing.

      @@Renfail I give a shit cuz I'm curious. I didnt mean it in am offensive manner I'm just curious is all. I met another dude recently who was late 40s with slow starting streak of gray but no beard and he would pass for mid 20s too. Gives me hope for the 70 and still got it dream.
      It's relevant to the review cuz you're the heart of the review. The heart of winter. Old man winter.
      I just finished my first iwd playthrough and while I love 2e system and infinity engine, game feels so bare bones to me little story and just endless mob spawns. It's like diablo style dungeon crawling. I think a lot of good games could be made using infinity engine if devs gave it a chance. Sod had terrible quota tier writing but it was a clear example of u can use older engine to make a decent modern game. Lot of good potential when 70% of the budget doesnt have to go to making new system, now you can afford to pay good writers.

      @@ethosterros9430 The IWD games are lighter on the personal story compared to Baldur's Gate games. I guess I always looked at it like the BG games were story games and the IWD games were more campaign-style where you didn't get the story interactions of the party members.
