I do believe the game was a somewhat moderatesuccess, my impression being based on the fact that while people sometimes recognize the game it is not very much know to the general public The critics gotten were good for the most parts, though Icewind dale 2s graphics were not as impressive as some similar games released around the same time, despte this the overall rating was good
I personally love both games, after having first time played them on a computer which would crash every ten minutes. I own both games with their expansions. I like it that while the second part refers to the first at times it is still a game that can be played on its own without any knowledge of the previous games story while the game art is somewhat dated in our current time I still prefere these games over more current games as the gameplay is good, and does not suffer under the art The games are linear, which can be a bit boring, however there are many sideuests, and many paths you can take depending on the allignment or race of your own build party Another thing I like you can make your own team, you are not stuck with premade characters, though you can use some of you like, even the character images can be customized by uploading new pictures into the game

Release
Not very well know, it never really reached the main public. However the true fans are still loyal, and with one of the programmers and the main artist still keeping contact with the fans you get a small but loving fanbase.
I personally like the game because of the story and the artwork, the artwork was wat made me deside to buy the game in the first place, all the back back in 2000, only a few months after its release. The story is steampunk, with some sci-fi and old babylonian mythology mixed in to create a world unlike others. The world is made up out of 7 layers, each with its own cultures and inhabitants The main objecttive is, of course, saving the world from destruction. The playable characters are predefined, all with their own history, which does reflect in their ways of communication and behavior towards others

Icewind Dale II Cheats and Item Lists
I'll never pass on a bargain deal again!
Black Isle Studios, the RPG development division inside Interplay is unfortunately no more, but they did leave an outstanding legacy behind. Game series such as Fallout, Baldurs Gate or Icewind Dale were on the lips of every player for a very long time. With Fallout 3 already in development with Bethesda Softworks (the creators of the Elder Scrolls series from which Morrowind and Oblivion are their greatest successes) all is left for us to wonder about is the fate of the provinces in the Forgotten Realms. Fortunately many former Black Isle Studios employees went working for Obsidian Entertainment and can already be proud of their latest project Neverwinter Nights 2. Icewind Dale II, just like its predecessor Baldurs Gate II, is based on the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition ruleset, however due to the extensive hack-and-slash experience in-game it was compared more often to the Diablo series and it was comparable in importance to some of the greatest titles out the same year Morrowind and Neverwinter Nights. Along the 3rd edition character classes such as Barbarian, Sorcerer and Monk there are many sub-races available too, such as Drow and Tieflings. With a much larger section of Icewind Dale to explore now, the player and his party will travel to the village of Targos, ice temples, ice fortresses, the town of Kuldahar (which you also visited in the first title of the series) and the mountains that surround the settlement as well as some elven ruins. Enemies are plenty and extremely varied. Some of the monsters made their way from the previous Icewind Dale, some from the Baldurs Gate series of the Planescape: Torment. Goblins, white dragons, a clan of Duergar, evil Driders, orogs, yuan-ti and the twin half-demonic creatures leading the Legion of the Chimera (Isair and Madae) will all try to kill your hero and his party. The final battle will be at the monastery of the Black Raven and it will prove a veritable challenge for your fighting skills. The titanic battle with the twins must end to your advantage.
