Despite the fact that GameBanshee's interview with Obsidian Entertainment's Feargus Urquhart from earlier this year was never able to be published, I think it's fair to say that its contents would have had many believing that Icewind Dale III will likely become a reality in the not-too-distant future. There are no guarantees, of course, but it's this possibility that had their editors return to the original games for a new three-page editorial entitled "Icewind Dale: The Past, Present, and Future".
Josh Sawyer is a name that has been familiar to RPG fans for decades. He's worked on Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights 2, Alpha Protocol, Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, and most recently Pentiment. How did he get into game development, how has his design philosophy changed over the years, and why did he decide to do Pentiment a little differently?
Those are some great games. Icewind Dale I & II are underrated.
If Larian made Icewind Dale III, I'd lose my mind.
What a fantastic, thorough interview.
20 years ago, Interplay Entertainment released Icewind Dale, a game based on a Dungeons & Dragons: Forgotten Realms campaign setting of the same name.
Player 2 takes a look at the first few hours of a range of recent D&D re-releases on the Switch and discusses if they are worth your time after all these years.
I loved Icewind Dale. That was a proper RPG. Not like some of todays rubbish.
