The listing, PC Games - Icewind Dale has ended.

The fate of the Forgotten Realms is once again in your hands as you make your way through the northern region of Faerûn, known as Icewind Dale. The environment is a harsh wasteland where "nature, first and foremost, rules." The inhabitants are those who, for their own myriad reasons, seek to settle and explore the rugged frontier.Your adventure begins in the town of Easthaven which is nestled in the foothills of the Spine of the World, an imposing range of jagged peaks. You and your party must travel from Easthaven, through the mountains, to reach Kuldahar which has been troubled by a recent influx of disturbances. In Kuldahar, you discover that these disturbances are more than mere happenstance and it becomes your mission to root out the evil that threatens the North, Faerûn and world of Abeir-Toril itself.Icewind Dale offers two modes of play: solo (you create and control your own party) or multiplayer (each player controls one or more characters). Your first step is to create your party of up to six adventurers. In a detailed, multi-step process, you control the selection of each party member's gender, portrait, race, class, ability scores, alignment, proficiencies, appearance, biography and name.While some steps are quick and easy (gender, portrait, appearance), others require more thought and time to ensure that each party member complements the team and offers unique skills that could prove essential to your survival. Race (human, elf, half-elf, dwarf, gnome or halfling) attributes can affect proficiency in certain classes (warrior, priests, rogues, wizards).For example, a halfling thief comes with a natural +15 Stealth modifier while dwarves have none. Dwarves, on the other hand, have a +15 Detect Traps modifier and halflings have only +5. So, the race you select can have direct consequences on your character's abilities.Icewind Dale's characters and calendar are based on Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules and measures.
