Icewind Dale 2 as DLC for NWN:EE?

in General Discussions NWN:EE
Icewind Dale 2's source code was lost, but the voice recordings and dialogs are still there. It was a decent game built on 3E. NWN also happens to be 3E with a toolset to easily make your own modules.

Given it's not feasible to make an Infinity Engine IWD2, how about remaking it as a series of NWNEE premium modules? It was a fun hack & slash and would be very multiplayer-friendly. And the voice and writing work would already be done. It won't be a 1:1 replica but i'd be able to live with that.

    That's a monstrously good idea, at least from where I'm sitting.

    Someone is actually working on this in NWN2, and the screennshots looks spot on...

    That's looking really good! Though part of the reason for asking was to see new assets for NWN1 like Sherincal's model and the ice temple

    Yeah, I figured that wasn’t quite what you were asking for, but I happened to run across it the other day and when I saw your post I thought I’d share.

    It’s kind of better suited for NWN2 at the moment anyway. Until NWN adds FPC a faithful port of the IWD series would be hopeless.

    I have played the NWN2 Mod for IWD2 . It is well done in many areas. I will not bash the hard work they put into it. MY only suggestions would be along the lines of : to cover everything content wise it would need to be split into a series of mods, IWD2 has so much to deal with in the story line. Also, making the Twins story with more layers and a another way of dealing with them would be wonderful. Again, I get great ideas with out the time or talent of creating them.

    I also would love to see Icewind Dale 2 converted into a series of official NWNEE DLCs.

    I loved the story and tactical battles of IWD2, some of the best in the IE engine in my opinion. But I completely agree with the twins. In fact the climax felt kind of anti-climactic to me. Like once you learned they and everyone around them had a reason to be outcasts there should have been more than just 'kill everyone and be done with it.'

    On another note, I think the IWD2 for NWN2 module is just the prologue. IWD1 is complete however.
