Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition

Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition is an enhanced version of Icewind Dale, similar to the previous releases for the Baldur's Gate games.

Next to the main game it incorporates the content of the expansions Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter and Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter - Trials of the Luremaster. It has new content as well, including six expanded quests with content that was cut from the original game, 60 new items, half-orc as a new playable race, and 31 new class and kit combinations from Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition as well as two new cleric kits and 122 new spells from Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. It introduces a new 'Story mode' difficulty level where the characters are invulnerable, to progress through the game without worrying about dying.

Icewind Dale is a party-based role-playing game with real-time combat, very similar in visual style and basic gameplay mechanics to Baldur's Gate. The game utilizes the second edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules. As opposed to Baldur's Gate (and similarly to older AD&D RPGs), the player is free to create a party of up to six characters belonging to various races and classes; no characters inhabiting the game world are able to join the party afterwards. Compared to Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment by the same developers, Icewind Dale is more combat-oriented; it has a linear plot advancement and focuses on extensive exploration of hostile areas rather than conversations with characters and quests.
