    What we asked:

    Q: With the recent rumour about the development of Icewind Dale 2 in mind; would you buy it if turns out that BIS is really working on it?
    (375 votes total)

    Of course (229) 61%
    Maybe, depends on reviews (111) 30%
    No way (35) 9%

    While this rumour still hasn't been confirmed officially, it would make sense for Black Isle Studios to make another Icewind Dale game. The market is obviously still big enough for another game made with the Infinity Engine, and it would explain the mysterious Trials of The Luremaster expansion to the Heart of Winter expansion.
    Although I would like to believe that BIS made it from the goodness of their hearts and just because most people thought the expansion was too short, it is much more believable that they were already working on the sequel to Icewind Dale so setting aside a few extra maps and populating them with new monsters could have been made simultaneously with the work proceeding on Icewind Dale 2, without delaying the project much.

    And of course we've all seen that Trials of The Luremaster was done very well and showed that the development team still has a couple more tricks up their sleeve, so you could also consider it a demo of what Icewind Dale 2 will be like. But then again, I could be totally wrong. Only time will tell.

    61% of people who voted in our poll said that they would definitely buy a sequel to Icewind Dale if it were made.

    30% are yet undecided, and may purchase it after reading some reviews. How the media will react to another Infinity Engine game remains to be seen, but I suspect that most reviewers will take some points off the game's score solely because it isn't in 3D yet. (What is it with these people and 3D anyway? I mean I know they can't stand their expensive 3D cards not being used all the time, but why can't they realize that a game can be excellent even without the third dimension in graphics?)

    Only 9% of people who voted replied that there's no way they would buy Icewind Dale 2.
