A full 64 (!) new screenshots help to spice it up. Here's a teaser: We've been able to play through only the opening of the game, which takes place around 30 years after the events of the first game. We find that the Ten Towns of Icewind Dale are besieged by goblin raiders, much like in the beginning of Salvatore's novels. Your party of characters is a band of mercenaries that sails into the town of Targos in search of work, only to find the town already under attack. As in the Icewind Dale trilogy, Icewind Dale II's Ten Towns are small, isolated, mostly autonomous trading posts that rely on the commerce of scrimshaw--the carved bone of the indigenous knucklehead trout. And just like in the novels, the towns themselves are often at odds with each other over trade issues, and as we found, the vicious goblin attacks and the subsequent influx of strange mercenaries like your own party, have only worsened the distrust among the towns' inhabitants--those that haven't been killed in the attacks yet, anyway.
