Icewind Dale is a single, or multiplayer, role-playing game set in Wizard of the Coast's grandaddy of all fantasy gameworlds, the Forgotten Realms. Icewind Dale focuses more on classic dungeon adventuring than on an overland quest. The focus in Icewind Dale is on the party rather than a sole hero. Amongst other things, this makes Icewind Dale more multiplayer friendly than Baldur's Gate or Tales of the Sword Coast.
"Icewind Dale's extrinsic locations and compelling story line should make it appeal to longtime fans of the gaming system, as well as those new to role-playing. The game is already so well crafted that those with no knowledge of the books or the lands can easily adapt to it quickly." GamePower
