Black Isle Studios announced today plans to release an expansion pack
for its role-playing game, Icewind Dale. Developed internally, the new
product, Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter will offer more classic dungeon
crawl using the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Second Edition rules under
license from Wizards of the Coast, including new monsters, spells, and
areas to explore within the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Based
in part on the series of books by New York Times best-selling author
R.A. Salvatore, Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter will also offer many new
technological and gameplay enhancements to the original game including
higher resolution, new gem bags, and scroll cases. 
Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter incorporates the gameplay elements found
in Icewind Dale, offering players the ability to hone their combat
skills, and achieve more powerful possessions, spells, and experience.
Supporting 800 x 600 high resolution graphics and improved OpenGL 3D
support (developed by Bioware for Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn),
Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter adds new spells including the wizard's
Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting and the cleric's spell of Blade Barrier.
Players will be able to explore five new treacherous lands, as well as
Lonelywood (another of the Ten Towns), and encounter new creatures
including Barbarians, undead, Remorhaz (polar worms) and more. Icewind
Dale: Heart of Winter will also feature powerful new magical items
like The Ring of the Will-o-Wisp, which allows the wearer to shoot a
shower of electricity at enemies, and the Vexed Armor, a suit of armor
inhabited by a demon, where the demon inside can destroy the wearer
and go on a destructive rampage.
The Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter expansion makes use of a modified
version of the BioWare Infinity Engine, originally developed by
BioWare for Baldur's Gate, and the forthcoming, Baldur's Gate II:
Shadows of Amn. Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter offers novice and
advanced players more challenges, allowing them to reach levels
upwards of 22nd depending on the character. 
Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter is being developed in-house at Black
Isle, and will be available for Windows 95/98-based computers. Icewind
Dale: Heart of Winter expansion will require an installed copy of the
original Icewind Dale in order to run.

Siiii... rimembro ancora i giorni in cui durante una seduta ad AD&D
(cartaceo) il mio Bardo fece fuori insieme al chierico di un mio amico un
nutrito gruppetto di vampiri che ci stava dando molto filo da torcere con la
mitica combo del "Tritacarne Infernale"TM: ovvero muro di lame alle spalle
dei vampiri e thunder staff per spedirceli dentro in allegria ^_^_^_^_^_^_^
