Any mods that make the game better such as new spells, weapons, increase the AI, and so on?
I am about to get the game for old times sake. I lost my original copy years ago, and I just want to play again.
Thanks
Man this is really cool!!
Started a new game just these days.It was years i didn't play this,and now cannot stop.
I was just curious to play because I did not know the rules the way I know them now. I actually played the game before I played 3.5.
I hoped it would be thread about converting Icewind Dale to a PF scenario. :(
It was very nice game.
An Icewind Dale PbP as a PF scenario?
Would be awesome if it last
Agh, don't give me ideas, I have too many other projects to finish.

AFTER the Pathfinderization of d20 Modern and Slayers d20 are done... (plus I need to finish playing those video games first anyway)
AFTER I'm done with Pathfinderizing d20 Modern and Slayers d20 (not to mention finishing my IWD and IWD2 playthroughs... some yuan-ti are kicking my butt right now...)
I was just thinking of trying to run a PF PbP inspired to IWD (1 or 2 doesn't matter for now).
The only problems would be balancing the difficulty, you cannot expect to have the amount of combat of the game.And you cannot rest that often.
More, i have the time now to run one game,but cannot be sure of how long it'll last,and i already had to drop two games i was running the last year because of RL commitments.
Would'nt like to upset people.

Well, you can always work on the adventure in your spare time, and if things get quiet, you can run later. I doubt the potential pool of players is going to disappear anytime soon.
You would have to scale back the number of encounters a little--if for any reason, just to keep it from being monotonous. But you could also replace them with other challenges that the computer game mechanics couldn't handle at the time -- provide uses for skills and creative play that you just can't do in a computer RPG, especially of that era.
And remember that Pathfinder characters are a LOT more resilient than AD&D characters. Pathfinder characters have max HP at first level, and they don't die at 0 HP, they die at negative Constitution score. They have options like Toughness and bonus HP from favored class, AND you get bonuses to HP starting at a lower Constitution score. Further, healing is a LOT more accessible with channel energy, spontaneous cleric healing, and bards getting cure spells. Playing through the 1st IWD right now and part of why I rest as often as I do is just to recharge my clerics' healing spells--I can never seem to have enough!
You probably would not have to lower the difficulty of the fights that you leave in (if not actually increase them, depending on the fight).
Yes,my same conclusions.I'll start gathering some ideas.
I am about to start that game, but I have not played in over almost 10 years. What favored enemies are good to choose for the end of the game?
There aren't too many of them, but I think the best place to start is here.
I'd recommend checking out the Infinity Engine Modlist instead - it compiles mods created for all the IE games (Baldur's Gate 1&2, Icewind Dale 1&2, Planescape: Torment) from various modding sites.
http://modlist.pocketplane.net/index.php?ax=list&cat_id=14 - here's the link to their Icewind Dale 2 section, among the more interesting mods there is the NPC project that lets you play a single character with a party of five NPCs in the same style as Baldur's Gate. The Widescreen mod is also nice, it lets you play the game at whatever resolution your screen is set to. :-)

I think the most common ones were evil outsiders and humans,but check here:

I was thinking about buying this game b/c it IS turn based and 3.5/D&D. It would be great if someone came out with a bunch of Baldurs Gate, Temple of Elemetal Evil style RPG's. You could import your PC to other games, like modules from D&D or Dungeon magazine style adventures. Man I would be a subscriber of that! BUT IT MUST BE TURN BASED!!
I'd love to see stuff like the gold box games updated to a modern engine. That would be hella fun.
No one wants to make isometric games these days though.
Eye of the Beholder I - III needs to be revamped.

Apparently there are a few EOB remakes made with NWN and NWN2. Maybe not quite what you're looking for, but... an option. Those were good games too.

I will (eventually) have to check them out.
