Black Isle Studios Announces New Expansion Product for Icewind Dale
Description
In the northernmost reaches of the Forgotten Realms lies the frozen and untamed region known as Icewind Dale. Journey deep into the Spine of the World Mountains, a harsh and unforgiving territory teeming with fearsome and merciless beasts. There you must confront an ancient evil that threatens to unleash an unspeakable horror upon the face of Faerun. Battle Ice Trolls, Giants, and hordes of terrifying Undead. Over 70 types of new monstors (for a total of over 150) that will put your valor to the test in real-time combat using the Baldur's Gate adaptation of the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons game system. Adventure through a wide range of breathtaking environments and beautifully rendered, scrolling terrain. Explore the region known as Icewind Dale, from magnificent temples and ancient ruins, to volcanic caverns and icy plains. The Bioware Infinity Engine, the same engine used to create Baldur's Gate, brings Icewind Dale to life with dynamic real-time lighting and weather effects, astounding combat, incredible spell effects, and visually-rich, immersive gameplay. Complete multiplayer support for up to six players over LAN or internet connections. Higher level character advancement and party-based adventuring let you develop charecters of formidable power and skill.
