The upgraded technical features, new spells, new items, new monsters, new areas and balanced classes, just make the game that much more fun and challenging and offer more to love. Any fan of Icewind Dale should pick this one up and any player looking for a good RPG should try it out. I even hear Black Isle is working on a downloadable add on for HoW , even more reason to keep playing, because who knows what creature we could face next. A stronger, more fluid addition. The dialogue is great and the plot twists keep you interested.
New resolutions make the game gorgeous and the new animations and spells are simply amazing.
Still some of the best music and voice-acting around, creating the perfect atmosphere. The effects are all nice as well. The expansion helps balance the game better, while adding new items to play with. The new areas are challenging and enjoyable and each addition is welcome. Still decent, but not the best for online play.
