I want to live in Icewind Dale so badly bros

>>719234895 (OP)
>only 13 houses in entire town
what do they eat? their economy? market? services?

>>719234895 (OP)
Comfy

>>719235106
if you want something you build it yourself. there an alternative way to live outside of society even know you golem.
if you live remotely enough you can even build your own house and no one will ever bother you or check for permits (which is just money extraction with extra steps)

>>719234895 (OP)
but people call dawnstar a boring shithole

Damn it Dale

>>719234895 (OP)
Elaborate. What makes it such an attractive place for you to live there?

>>719235106
Do you realize there are small villages with 13 houses in real life too? In every country on earth?

>>719234895 (OP)
Nashkel... home...

>>719235106
The answer to the first two questions is fish. They also sell scrimshaw. From the fish.
They're big on fish.

Are you a bear?

The fuck is that necron obelisk doing there top left?

Life is pain

Stop posting iwd stuff, I'm trapped in wow for at least a couple weeks more before I have time to play another game

>>719235802
I don't see how that's any business of yours.

Am I the only one who can play BG1 and IWD1 over and over again?

>>719235648
And they're incredibly inbred shitholes.

>>719234895 (OP)
do we like the EE version of this?

>>719236128
>implying /v/ actually plays games

>>719236102
Yes, but they have food. Even when they don't have ten boats and a sea next to them.

>>719236128
No. And the WoW Icon is turtle wow

>>719234895 (OP)
this really looks like that one skyrim town

>>719236290
>Yes, but they have food.
They have welfare. Peasant villagers are self-sustaining, but I do not see farms, nor crops, so their only source of food is either eating fish 24/7, or trading, and their only commodity would be prostitution.

>>719234895 (OP)
How about Norway?

>>719236387
How could you see any farms or crops when the image has been cropped to only include the road and the buildings?

Fish
>their economy
Same as everyone else's
>market
Go sell the fishes in town

>>719236534
Heart of Winter was so good.

>>719234895 (OP)
Looks nice but I bet it stinks

Somehow manages to feel like a large city anyway.

>>719236534
that bridge mages zero sense

>>719234895 (OP)
This is a pretty well designed village overall with logical elements and believable structure

My main concern is the big temple building, keeping that thing not-freezing-cold must be a nightmare, especially with those big windows and shit. But maybe they have some blessing of Tempus that prevents cold or some shit

>>719235987
No. There is something so replayable about them despite how linear they are. I wish the Infinity Engine got the Neverwinter Nights treatment with infinite modules. There's one youtuber who literally made his channel just based around replaying BG 1 and 2 over and over again along with guides. Despite how simple and straightforward they are when it comes to character customization, there is some kind of high deep depth when it comes to the mechanics

>>719236128
What is the difference between EE and Original? Does it affect the balance? Is the dragon eye and snake cult temple still ridiculously hard while the rest of the game is a breeze in the original?

>>719235987
Nope. There's something about the game engine and gameplay and atmosphere that causes me to become obsessive over this game every year or so

>>719234895 (OP)
I hate having 8 months of snow of variqble quality

>>719241643
They added/changed a bunch of magic items and also ported kits and most spells from BG2, so the balance is different
>Is the dragon eye and snake cult temple still ridiculously hard while the rest of the game is a breeze in the original?
Lower Dorn's Deep is harder because they added a boss that resurrects every time you sleep and follows you through area transitions until you kill the idol in the undead room, but yeah Dragon's Eye is still a huge difficulty spike in the middle of the game.

>>719235106
Every town in Icewind Dale is tiny. Neverwinter is the biggest in the north, but it's south of Icewind Dale.
