Darren Monahan Interview

The Pan Asia Gaming Network has interviewed Darren Monahan, producer of Icewind Dale II, asking questions about the game's use of the 3rd Edition rules, its campaign setting, the possibility of expansion packs and/or a part III, and more. An excerpt:

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

    A: 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.
