    Icewind Dale 2 is now completable!

    For the first time in GemRB history, an Icewind Dale 2 game has been successfully played from start to finish. It was a solo run with some combat cheating to make it faster, but the main news is that there are no more in-game scripting related blockers. Scripting is highlighted, since that is what thwarted all previous attempts.

    Brave explorers can try the development builds, but do note: while the game is completable, it is not polished yet. The actionbar can’t be customized, there is a severe spell learning problem for some classes, weapon sets are not working well, a few spells have projectile problems, there are a few combat bugs etc.

    The nastiest remaining problems will be addressed before the next official release. So unless you want to contribute to making the experience better, it’s best if you wait until then.
