The Icewind Dale:
Heart of Winter Downloadable Dungeon Set is a free expansion pack for
Black Isle Studios' Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter role playing game.
In response
to some players wanting more game experience from Icewind Dale and Heart
of Winter, Black Isle Studios developed a free, downloadable dungeon pack
add-on for customers of Heart of Winter. The pack is sized at 72MB, and
plugs directly into the game, provided Heart of Winter is installed. This
expansion set includes several new monsters, quests, items, areas and
portraits, as well as a brand new adventure. You can download it here.
Brief
Story Introduction
After Trials
of Luremaster is installed, a mysterious halfling Hobart Stubbletoes introduces
himself in the Whistling Gallows Inn in Lonelywood. He seeks a party of
stalwart heroes for a quest to a place of great wonder, with treasures
beyond the imagination. Should the party accept, they will be transported
to a new place, far from the icy terrain of the Dalelands, finding themselves
within the walls of a ruined castle in an unfamiliar land...
The adventure
is meant to surprise the character, and is conveyed throughout the various
puzzles/combats.
