An interview with Kevin Osburn, line producer on the upcoming RPG sequel. Here's what IWD 2 will offer that he first game didn't:
What is Icewind Dale II going to offer that the first game did not?
IWD2 will offer the player a variety of different things, from new 3rd Edition D&D rules we have implemented, a new interface, and wider variety of player scripts. Also we have taken a lot of puzzle situations from Trials of the Luremaster, our free dungeon set for Heart of Winter, and implemented more of these types of puzzles into IWD2. We are trying to provide a mixture of both elements from IWD playing style and TOTL playing style, while adding some new elements that were not seen in previous IWD games. We will also be including new player character races, and subraces (never before seen in IE games). |
