They aren't too fond of the game, as their rating of 76% and their conclusion show: What really surprised me about Icewind Dale II was how sloppy some of it was. Parts of the game didn’t work right, including one broken quest, and others seemed unbalanced, like healing potions that were way too wimpy to be of any use, and a search skill that barely detected anything. Plus, I found some grammar mistakes in the game’s text, and mistakes in the manual (the preferred class of the drow is not the wizard), and almost all of the character voices and portraits used in the game are straight from Icewind Dale. And don’t even ask about the frequent slowdowns I encountered, which didn’t seem to have anything to do with what was going on in the game. So, obviously, I wasn’t overly enthusiastic about Icewind Dale II. Despite moving to Dungeons & Dragons Third Edition rules, the game seemed much too familiar, it didn’t look particularly good or run particularly well on my computer, and it didn’t even come close to capturing my imagination. The Infinity Engine had a nice run while it lasted, but five games over four years is enough, and it’s time for Black Isle Studios to move on.
