I have gotten so used to playing subclasses in BGII that I was wondering if the makers of Icewind Dale II have bothered to include them, I am waiting until the end of Finals week to actually buy my game otherwise I get way to obsessed and might not do so well this semester. Are there subclasses like the swashy or inquis in the game, and if at all possible in a attempt to squelch any thirst I have for playing it could you please tell me the highlights about what makes this a good game comparable to BGII, just got a little less then two more weeks to go and I can't wait, then after that comes THe Two Towers, then come mi next muy incomprehendo obsesssion.

By subclasses, do you mean "kits"? There's no kits in 3rd edition (IWD2) exactly.. but you can multiclass a lot easier than in 2nd edition (BGII) and sort of make your own kits. What kit in particular did you want?

There are no sub classes per se, but as a paladin or cleric, you get to choose a faith. And this will affect how you can go about multiclassing your character in certain situations. A paladin can't just multiclass to another class and still be able to gain levels as a paladin unless it is related to his faith.

Most of the variaety comes form the sub-races, and the fact that under the new rules, you don't really need kits...as you can pretty much build you character the way you want wil skills and feats

There are race-related sub-classes, which in effect are kits, for many of the races.
