Posted Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 21:13 CET by Mollusken

GameSpot has posted a preview of Icewind Dale II, which focuses on the general aspects of the game. "A new way to hack'n'slash" was one of their sub-headlines.

Though Icewind Dale II will be mostly focused on challenging combat, it will also have numerous quests that your characters can perform for rewards of experience points, money, or items or some combination of all three. Like in Black Isle's other RPGs, you'll sometimes be able to perform optional quests simply by virtue of your character class. For instance, early on in the game, you'll meet a wounded soldier of Targos, whom you can heal for an experience reward if you have a character with the ability to use healing magic.
