A preview of Icewind Dale 2 can be found at ActionTrip. Here's a bit from the rather short article:
There will be practically no limits to your advance (provided you play the Heart of Fury mode)… i.e. you can expect to reach the level thirty! The game contains many new unique items, and a far better system for generating powerful magic gadgets. You will now be able to compose your coterie of such races as Half-Orc, Drow (Dark Elf), Thiefling or Gold Dwarf, and classes such as Barbarian, Sorcerer and Monk. This implies the use of the new AD&D 3rd Edition Rules. Hence, the Barbarian cannot stand magic, but he has no equal in melee combat. The Sorcerer is a more powerful version of old Magic-Users and he doesn't have to memorize spells. Monk is a bizarre character whose AC goes down with every level; what am I saying?! His AC goes up with every level! You see, in 3rd edition rules, THAC0 and AC no longer go backwards. Priest spells and religions have been far better defined, and the new system will let you create characters like berserker/ranger/paladin/axe-murderer with a flick of a wrist. |
