"Interplay on Tuesday announced that Icewind Dale II has shipped to retail. Icewind Dale II is the sequel to the computer role-playing game Icewind Dale and features the BioWare Infinity Engine used by BioWare to develop Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II. Icewind Dale II uses the third edition core rules for the classic Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPG within the Forgotten Realms adventure campaign setting under licenses by Wizards of the Coast.
The game hosts a variety of new weapons, armor and magical items, and expands on the gameplay elements found in the original Icewind Dale. Icewind Dale II offers skills such as Power Attack and Diplomacy, further extending the character customization options available to players. Also introduced in Icewind Dale II are new character classes such as the Barbarian and Sorcerer, and new playable races such as the Drow (the famous dark elves of the Underdark) and the celestial hybrid Aasimar. Icewind Dale II also includes over 50 new spells, bringing the total to over 300 spells, almost all of which have been revamped for the new rule set."
