Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition

I beat the original campaign of Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition at the end of 2021 already but only earlier this year finally returned to do the expansion, Heart of Winter, as well. I've always done the expansion just before beating the main game but this time I decided to do it differently and import my characters to the expansion after defeating Belhifet. That wasn't as smooth of a process as I wanted, and while I did get it sorted out, something else came up and the playthrough went on a hiatus.

Icewind Dale (Remake)

The Icewind Dale remake for Neverwinter Nights 2 will stay as the last NWN2 campaign I will play in a while. I finally got enough of the constant party rebuffing you have to do in order to survive. NWN2 is probably the worst of the D&D CRPGs in this regard, and this mod is no exception.

Icewind Dale II Soloed

It took some time but I finally completed Icewind Dale II with a single character; a drow sorceress as planned. A dark elf because of the ability score bonuses and spell resistance, and a sorcerer as they are easily the best caster class for solo play with their spontaneous casting feature.

Icewind Dale Soloed

I finished the game without too much trouble. The rest of the original game nor the expansion offered nothing really challenging for my high-level character. Trials of the Luremaster - the free content patch for Heart of Winter - on the other hand, had many hard fights. It's the same with parties of six characters, though.

Icewind Dale Solo Attempt

I decided give a try to Icewind Dale (and Heart of Winter/Trials of the Luremaster) solo run (i.e. one character only). So far everything has gone quite well with my elven fighter/mage/thief. I'm currently in Wyrm's Tooth, just about to take out the frost giants.
