Junior Adventurer's Guild - September: Icewind Dale

Post by Oyster Sauce »

Icewind Dale


Evil Stirs in the Frozen North
In the northernmost reaches of the Forgotten Realms lies the region of icy tundra known as Icewind Dale. Journey deep into the Spine of the World, a harsh and unforgiving territory settled only by the hardiest folk. Encounter fearsome beasts that have learned the cunning ferocity needed to survive among the snow-shrouded peaks. Confront an evil that schemes beneath the carven glaciers to wreak destruction upon the face of Faerun. This is the world of Icewind Dale!

@Oyster Sauce You should try out VTMR first before allowing it as the game. I received it as a gift from an HQ member(thanks), and enjoyed it, but had mouse issues that caused me to stop playing because it was causing me physical pain. For some reason, despite whatever actual resolution I used, the mouse is treated as if the window has the game's intended very small resolution. I had to move the mouse very carefully, which caused wrist strain. Even changing mouse DPI didn't really help.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Just tried it at a few different resolutions and didn't have this issue.

Can almost guarantee this is some sort of psychosis that will effect no one.
I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

Other than DOS-era low framerate first-person games causing motion sickness, it's the only time I've quit a game due to physical discomfort.

If you don't want to play Beamdog's version, GemRB considers IWD to be fully playable & polished: https://gemrb.org/Features.html

@boot - Icewind Dale is likely the game for September. I don't know if you are still planning your Campaign Log soon or not.
