stupid icewind dale 2, I spent way too much time playing with it in the past few days. but since I've got through the ice palace, it just kept getting better and better, and of course the npc mod is still very good so yeah. and I really like how the plot connects with the plot of iwd 1. because at first I thought it will have nothing to do with it, but that's not the case and it's cool. what's even cooler is that they managed to pull it off in a good way, so it's getting pretty exciting. I'm not even bothered by the fact that I have to go through one dungeon that is almost exactly the same as it was in iwd 1 (it's the dragon's eye caves)
anyway, I find it funny that the yuan-tis and all these reptile creatures are just random enemies in baldur's gate 2 for example, but in icewind dale, they are actually almost the main villains, which is funny. and it was also pretty cool that icewind dale usually takes place on the north, but this time the party even had to travel to a very far away jungle callec chult. well, they went by teleporting, but it was still refreshing after all the snowy landscapes and cold caves. the only thing that I regret is that I didn't take saloyema along instead of peony. because now that I read more about her on the modding forums, she seemed funny, and peony is getting kind of boring. she's not that bad, but I want someone who is constantly mocking the members of the party, and saloyema seemed that type. oh well, maybe I'll take her along next time...if only I wouldn't have to go through the ice palace again.
