I hope it's an all in one box thing. Be a nice one to have on the shelf.

^ That's about the only way I'd consider picking it up. Although if the price is right, I never have played Icewind Dale.

I played a baldurs gate on ps2. Called Dark alliance.

I remember enjoying it, but i have no idea if it was a sub series or extended port.

[bujeezus]

Dark Alliance was more like Diablo, if I remember correctly.

[Nem]

It was. I thought that was the style of all these games.

[bujeezus]

Nope, the original was a more traditional rpg. Lots of dialogue, and party, turn-based combat.
