8. Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition

Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition gameplay

A short stint as a caravan guard ensnares your party into uncovering a devious plot against the denizens of Icewind Dale. This fellow Poquelin is really vying for the seat as the “Big Bad” in this campaign, and he wants this snowy landscape all for his own dire deeds. Think Baldur’s Gate wearing a nice winter coat.

A little more linear than its Baldur’s Gate predecessor, Icewind Dale holds higher standards in the graphics and gameplay, yet lacks a little in the story department. Oh, and it’s set in a frozen tundra environment… You could probably stick with Skyrim, if you’re shopping in that department. The graphics are just a tit better.


Guys. Check it out. I just killed this dragon. For reals.
