Heart of Winter

Buck Santa · Post by **Buck Santa** » Thu Dec 21, 2000 1:28 pm

Just out of curiosity, how many of you plan on buying and playing the Icewind Dale expansion pack?

If you haven't even bought Icewind Dale yet and are playing BG2 now (and like it), I'd definitely recommend buying it. The expansion looks to add some serious enhancements, above and beyond that of Baldur's Gate II even. The only drawback is that you can't duel wield =\.

Anyway, let's try to keep this topic from becoming a spamfest please =).

Buck, Sir! No Sir ! I don't have any intention to spam on this threat....You have my sworn honor on it ! That's Spamster honor !

As for Heart of Winter, I'm looking forward to get a copy of it ! Dual wield or not i still think Bioware have something hidden behind their sleeves on the story line and i surely hope it's a good one.
I'm looking forward for it.
Anyway how's NWN ? My finger are now very itchy to get a copy of it too !

I am planning on buying the IWD-HOF expansion as soon as it hits the stores. I enjoyed IWDs style of just mowing through tons of baddies and coming out streaked with gore on the other side.

Thats good stuff.

Not having dual wield kind of blows (given my propensity towards Rangers) but it won't detract from the 'overall gaming experience'

Actually, to my knowledge Heart of Winter MIGHT still include dual-wielding. They ARE borrowing a lot of code from BG2.....

I haven't decided yet on Heart of Winter. While I loved Icewind, it's no BG2 and the ending in Icewind kind of felt rushed to me, like there wasn't that big a mystery leading up to it. If I wan't a twitch game, I'll play Diablo 2. If I want hard-core storytelling, BG2 it is. Icewind fell somewhere in between and while that was cool, I'm not sure I want that again right now. Although spending 4+ hours just rolling 6 characters was kinda nifty...

And you're right Kiddo... no spamming on this board.

flinfman · Post by **flinfman** » Thu Dec 21, 2000 4:09 pm

Absolutely not. Not gonna do it.

flinfman · Post by **flinfman** » Thu Dec 21, 2000 4:09 pm

At all.

Ubik · Post by **Ubik** » Thu Dec 21, 2000 4:13 pm

may i second that, dear sir?

flinfman · Post by **flinfman** » Thu Dec 21, 2000 4:15 pm

By all means.

Ubik · Post by **Ubik** » Thu Dec 21, 2000 4:17 pm

And, btw, i will wait for the BG2 expansion - no ID for me, no sir.

I will wait for A really DARN long time... but i trust it will come out, eventually (hey, finishing it with two parties - as I am doing now - and playing at a pace of two hours a day or even less... well, if I replay it only once, it will get me till the summer of 2001, at least

)

And, no sir, I ain't spamming here. The others do

Good to no that no relentless spamming will take place here. We have to put a stop to such silliness. And if Blizzard is taking so long with their expansion for Diablo 2, I wonder how long Bioware is taking with theirs? It'll be interesting. But I'm really looking forward to their Star Wars rpg. That should be uber-badass.

Ubik · Post by **Ubik** » Thu Dec 21, 2000 4:23 pm

Stars Wars rpg? crpg, actually? Haven't heard of it, would be so kind, dear sir, to share some details with us, humble peasants, or direct us somewhere we can learn more about?

flinfman · Post by **flinfman** » Thu Dec 21, 2000 4:25 pm

It's good to see you know your betters

. Anyway, Bioware is working with LucasArts to make a Baldur's Gate-esque rpg set in the ancient times of the Star Wars universe. Supposedly when Jedi and Sith were running around everywhere. Supposedly will be out in 2002, but we'll see. they may have some info on bioware's homepage, but I haven't checked it out so I'm not sure.

Ubik · Post by **Ubik** » Thu Dec 21, 2000 4:27 pm

you are SOOOOOOOO enormously kind, dear, dear, dear sir...
noble heart and a vigorous spirit, I might add to it

Maurice · Post by **Maurice** » Thu Dec 21, 2000 5:03 pm

Sir, yes Sir! I mean, no Sir! No spamming here!

<whispers: you might want to ban flinfman and Ubik, though>

I intend to get it, yes. And play it of course!

flinfman · Post by **flinfman** » Thu Dec 21, 2000 6:46 pm

Hey now Maurice. Be kind to those of us who aren't quite as powerful as you in the spamming department. As you mentioned on another thread, no one is close to touching your crown so don't take it personally. Of course, if Ubik happened to disappear mysteriously one day, I sure wouldn't have too much of a problem with that....

-means more drow gals for me.

Hmmm 16 replies and only about 4 serious answers.

What keeps me from Icq Wind dale is at Best Buy, BG is like $12, BG2 is like $50. Now a game (Icewind Dale) made with the original BG engine($12) is still $50!. I was thinking about it but I mean I still have the bastard known as BG2

I might coax someone to get it for me for Christmas, so if it sucks I'm out nothing
