Thanks to Taluntain, Chief News & Content Editor at Sorcerer's Place for letting us know that they have put up a detailed preview of Icewind Dale II. It includes 80 (!) screenshots from the game.
Here's an interesting snip where the editor talks about the all new interface:Immediately after the introductory dialogue with the ship's captain upon docking in Targos, you will be greeted by a brand new game interface, which keeps most of the properties that we are used to from previous Infinity Engine games, but also sports some noticeable changes. Since the entire interface is now docked at the bottom of the screen, you get a bit more playing space, but if that still isn't enough for you, you can hide the interface completely. This has been implemented especially to my liking, since when in this mode, the interface is hidden most of the time, but when you pause the gameplay with the space bar, the interface will pop up automatically so you can issue the needed orders from the panel, and when you set the game back in motion, the interface will automatically hide itself again. |
