Icewind Dale II Enhancements

Icewind Dale and Icewind Dale II are D&D based CRPGs developed following Baldur's Gate that also used the Infinity Engine. These enhancements that I developed are compatible with Icewind Dale II. Many other enhancements by other authors can be found at the Pocket Plane Group site.

  1. Don't know if you'll see this, but I'll say it none the less.
    THANK YOU for your work. I have been trying to find an IWD2 portrait pack to DL and install, for a week now and just can't find any decent ones. IWDEE, Baldurs Gate, et.al, NWN, yes..IWD2?? NOPE. So I found this/your site as a result of this search and I'm pleasantly suprised. I found MORE than I was looking for and can't wait to try out your work.
    So big thanks for it all and the portraits..I can't understand WHY it is SO DIFFICULT to find these things. If I was familiar or adept with the tools to make them, I'd do it with the "Images" on the web, which there is an abundance of, just not ready to go packs for install.
    Thanks again and Cheers.

  2. I'm sorry I have no portraits, but I hope you find the items I created useful. You should consider giving NWN2 and its expansions a try as well.
