Among the various difficulty levels (including the core ruleset for those wanting the original D&D 2nd Edition experience) there is a new Story mode in Icewind Dale, which offers the full game with all its combat and exploration, but removes the ability to actually die. The Enhanced Editions have been remade and reworked by Beamdog to offer a more accessible and fun adventure for today’s gamer. In fact, these two games are among the best of their kind, still renowned for their storytelling and gameplay. When they were released around two decades ago (Planescape was 1999 and Icewind Dale, 2000) games were nowhere near as accessible as they are now. Bundling these two games together potentially means hundreds of hours of gameplay in one package two huge RPGs that, along with Baldur’s Gate, helped pave the way for the existence of titles like Knights of the Old Republic, Divinity: Original Sin 2, and Pillars of Eternity. With the likes of Hollywood stars Vin Diesel and Joe Manganiello publicly declaring their love for the game, to online series like Matt Mercer’s Critical Role adding real drama and entertainment to campaigns, it just seems like the right time for Beamdog to bring its Enhanced Editions of PC classics Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale back into the limelight. Dungeons & Dragons has come back in a big way over the past few years.
