Icewind Dale II Interviews
Posted Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 22:31 CET by Mollusken

The first interview is at paGn, where Black Isle's Darren Monahan answers a few questions about the game. I believe we've seen most of the questions before, but some of it is interesting reading.

Would you say Icewind Dale II is more RPG or Hack & Slash?

Darren Monahan: I would go so far as to say it is much more RPG this time around. It still has a lot of combat, but we've added a lot to the game that wasn't in the original. Skills and attributes have quite a bit of significance in the game, and one thing our fans have yelled and screamed at us for is making the path of evil a viable option. Your party will have a lot of choices to make throughout the game; many of them determine their future outcome and who their friends and enemies are.

The second interview is with Doug Avery at GameAxis, and there's not much new to learn there either.
