Icewind Dale is a pair of games set in the Forgotten Realms and made by Black Isle Studios using the Infinity Engine. As you may guess from the title, they occur primarily in the Icewind Dale region, a windy, snowing valley in an area called the Ten Towns in the Spine of the World mountain, far to the north of towns like Neverwinter and Luskan.The first game starts off in the humble fishing village of Easthaven, where your party has Jumped at the Call of adventure to accompany the hunter Hrothgar to Kuldahar, a village settled in the soothing warmth of a gigantic oak tree that lately has been getting a bit too chilly. As you investigate the source of this, it turns out that the tree's vanishing warmth is part of a larger plot between two warring Eldritch Abominations seeking to seize control of the region. The second game picks up thirty years later and similarly starts off with the village of Targos being beset by goblin attacks, and leads into a plot about an army of monsters preparing to conquer the region.Interestingly, Icewind Dale (and its sequel) has the player create an entire party (rather than one character), lending the games more of a dungeon crawl theme than Black Isle's previous Infinity Engine titles Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment. Plot is sparse, but not shoehorned in; rather, the game is written in such a way that the player can follow the plot as tightly as he desires, or ignore it entirely in favor of some quick monster-bashing.Both games have been rereleased for current Windows operating systems on GOG.com. Beamdog Studios have released an Enhanced Edition of the first game on October 30, 2014. A fan-created Enhanced Edition of Icewind Dale II by Red Chimera Group was released on November 4, 2023. | |

RPGs Equal Combat | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_178cb4b9 | comment |
RPGs Equal Combat Played very straight in the base game; while several villains will engage you in conversation, you can never come to peaceful resolutions and it devolves into a fight. However, attempting to talk to them at length will occasionally get you plot information and/or a reward of Exp for at least attempting to talk it out. You can actually avoid combat in several encounters in Heart of Winter, and get experience for trying to reason with your opponent in another. | |

Full-Frontal Assault: Yxunomei in her true form goes topless, making her the only attractive naked person in all of the Infinity games, and is probably the biggest Wake-Up Call Boss in the game besides the Final Boss. The final installment of Baldur's Gate uses her sprite for other mariliths. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The Heart of Winter trailer narrates "She is the spirit of one who died in the North long ago." with footage of an old woman. This is then followed by captions "Something wicked chills the heart of Icewind Dale" complete with dramatic music, implying the old lady is responsible for the evils in the North. In the game however, the 'she' actually refer to a huge female white dragon, while the old lady helps the party of adventurers. | |

A Lighter Shade of Black: Malavon Despana and his allies are drow who oppose Lolth's matriarchal tyranny, having turned their worship to Vhaeraun. The alignment system being what it is, they're still technically evil, but prove themselves entirely hospitable allies who trade, heal, and deal with the party fair and square. | |

Senseless Sacrifice | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_1dacdb4f | comment |
Senseless Sacrifice: Everard, head of the Temple of Tempus in Easthaven, makes no secret of the fact that he sees Jerrod, the Barbarian Hero mentioned in the opening cinematic, as having committed one of these, claiming he could have just destroyed the portal by other means. If the player tries to argue the point long enough, he'll yell at them that a Heroic Sacrifice has to be meaningful to count for anything and if it isn't or was avoidable, it's not a sacrifice, but a waste. He even provided the page quote. | |

Lawful Stupid | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_1e12b5b7 | comment |
Lawful Stupid: Paladins and Monks will routinely refuse rewards. The best way to get around is just have another party member claim the reward. Which is just another kind of Lawful Stupid, come to think of it. Further, if a paladin identifies a malicious, but presently friendly character (thanks to their class-unique evil detection), this will usually skip further discourse and force a fight - even when more information and profit could be gleaned by keeping the conversation going before dishing out justice. | |

For Science!: In the Dragon Eye levels, you rescue Nheero, a mage who allowed himself to get captured by the Yuan-ti. He wanted to be turned into a Yuan-ti slave creature, a histachii, so he could study the process and its effects. Of course, he's not that stupid. His partner was to make an altered brew so the transformation wouldn't be permanent, a task that falls onto you. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: The exact reason why Kuldahar's tree is losing its warmth is never revealed. While it's heavily implied short of outright stated that Belhifet and/or Crenshinibon was the cause, it's unclear why they would do it since they don't care about Kuldahar and specifically mention that they wouldn't want bands of adventurers and heroes traveling to the town to investigate its disturbances. The only other candidate for the cause is Yxunomei, but her followers note that her ultimate plans for Icewind Dale are the exact opposite of freezing it, they want to return it to a warm jungle climate. In the end it's ultimately irrelevant, as by the end the game the issue is comparatively minor to other things happening and things are resolved eventually, but being that it's the inciting incident of the plot, it is a bit odd that the party seems to lose interest in the matter. Late in the game you find an old aquatic museum that's been frozen over to be a fortress for a tribe of ice salamanders. A group of humans slaves who escaped them tell how they did it by manipulating the heating systems for the aquarium to increase the temperature in certain areas so the salamanders would avoid them because the heat caused them physical pain. The journal/your party comments that this knowledge may be useful to them, but it isn't; while you can find the heating systems in the aquarium, there's no way to manipulate them to turn up the heat on the salamanders, and you'll end up having to kill them the direct way. | |

| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_23a0a0d0 | comment |
Dragon Their Feet: Thvara, a cleric of Auril, who was sent by High Priestess Cathin to recruit the local barbarians for additional manpower at the ice temple; she was still on this mission when the glacier fell. The player can offer her an out, as you've already destroyed her superiors and she stands to gain nothing from opposing you now, but she's too arrogant to take it. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Firtha Kedros mentions that, in her dreams, she's seen visions of what is clearly meant to be Sigil, more noticeably a brambled garden, blacker than ink, and even goes as far as to unknowingly imply that she may be another of Ravel Puzzlewell's avatars. The latter was confirmed by Word of God. A monk in the Black Raven monastery sells a book called How To Be An Adventurer. Its index titles, besides blatantly mocking pretty much the entirety of D&D and fantasy adventure as a whole, includes a peculiar entry under "Dungeons to Avoid Like the Crotch-Rot: Dominara the Erinyes Nine-Layered Brothel of Violent Emasculation (No Slating... Or Slaking... allowed)". One random item found is "The Death Adder's Dragon-Shield". Its description matches story elements from Golden Axe and The Revenge of Death Adder. | |

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: The more of an item you sell to a merchant, the less they'll pay for more of it. Conlan's wares are absurdly overpriced. They have unique names and some neat lore behind each of them, but once you scroll down you'll quickly realize he's charging tens of thousands of gold for glorified +3 weapons. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: The opening scenario could belong in the Deconstructor Fleet. Nearly all the quests in the first town don't just parody computer RPGs in general, they actually specifically skewer quests in Black Isle RPGs. One character has basically no other purpose but as a lampshade salesman. To drive the point home, after you defeat the initial Goblin raid on the docks, your character can comment on how surprising was it to get thrust right into action, as opposed to being walked through a series of meaningless small chat and fetch quests. Which is exactly what you go do AFTER the raid. During the introduction you can come across a dead cat. Any experienced player would probably pick the thing up and keep it with them hoping it'd be the solution to some quest and they'd get some easy experience. After solving the, err, "mystery" of how the cat died, the "culprit" asks you why the hells are you carrying a dead cat around, to which your response is that you were kind of hoping it'd be the solution to somebody's problem and that you could learn something from the experience. And sure enough, the cat's owner is wondering about what happened to it, and you can get 300 XP for bringing the carcass to her and telling her who the culprit is after you have obtained his confession. If for some reason you carry the cat during the entire game, a Barghest Whelp near the end is squicked that you carried around a dead cat all this time and asks what the hell is wrong with you. There's a barrel atop the wall just to the north of the party's location. You might not be able to see it at the moment with that strange fog that comes up, but it's there. | |

| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Chain Lightning can damage multiple enemies, but it's not party friendly. It can will hit your adventurers even if they clear of the spell's path. The Call Lightning spell will down a thunder on your foes. However, the spell can only be cast outdoor and most of the areas in the game take place inside. | |

Shoot the Builder | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_2cd322e4 | comment |
The Vale of Shadows is a valley and canyon populated by undead, yetis, and cultists of the winter goddess Auril, lined with extensive tombs carved out by the barbarian overlord Kresselack the Black Wolf, who slew the builders and buried them with him to serve as part of his deathly retinue. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Lysan, Auril's evil priestess in the first title, is revealed in the second to have been the kindly mentor of the three sisters ruling the ice temple. Lysara recalls Lysan as a ray of hope and goodness in the otherwise bleak life the three children were going to face as poor commoners in Luskan with absent parents. News of Lysan's death at the hands of the Icewind Dale 1 party broke Lysara in particular, and led all three to swear to their inspiration's Religion of Evil. | |

Noob Cave | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_3121f1e6 | comment |
Noob Cave: Outside Easthaven you can find a small cave inhabited by a tribe of orcs with a few shamans among them and led by an ogre. It's your first taste of what the game will be like and an optional challenge to make sure your party can handle the much longer areas with more dangerous enemies to come. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The whole secret passage into the Legion of the Chimera base. The original game would lag so badly that it took days to get through this area. A player patch fixes this. Trugnuk, a mid-boss in Chapter 1, is an Orc Shaman with a nasty lightning spell. He's something of a glass cannon and not particularly difficult to deal with once you kill his guards, except that the game occasionally bugs out and allows his corpse to continue electrocuting your characters, roughly every two seconds. Thankfully the spell has a short range and you can still loot the key needed to continue off his body. | |

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: Kresselack's tomb full of the living dead has nothing whatsoever to do with anything that's going on in the rest of the Dale. Meanwhile, Yxunomei did steal the Heartstone Gem, but she did it because she was actually working against your real enemy. That being said, the latter was certainly going to be bad news for the Ten-Towns in the long run, and they did kidnap all those townsfolk. | |

Horny Vikings | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_39441318 | comment |
Horny Vikings: Set in the harsh north of Faerun, the Dale is populated by people with names like "Hrothgar". The Uthgardt and Reghed barbarian tribes in the game's backstory owe a considerable amount to the pagan Nordic warriors of old. A lot of the available portraits of the game also seek to encourage you to be like this. You can purchase a Bardic Horn of Valhalla, pretty much a viking war-horn, from a merchant in Kuldahar, while the Face of Death helmet, a Reghed artifact, looks like a real Viking helmet — so no horns. | |

Then Let Me Be Evil: Originally, the Legion of the Chimera had purely peaceful intentions; they just wanted to found their own settlement in the vast wilderness of Icewind Dale and live quiet lives without being abused for their mixed ancestry anymore. They even wanted to forge peace treaties with their new neighbors, and pacts for mutual defense. Then the Ten-Towns tried to assassinate the Legion's founders with poisoned cakes, and that was the last straw. | |

Woman Scorned: Icasaracht. From one point it seems like she had Aihonen's ancestor as a lover then later died because of him, thus invoking this trope.

Even though Iselore decided to spare them when he could have easily wiped them out after their crushing defeat in the first game, they're right back at their warmongering again in the sequel, and the archdruid voices his displeasure at how they've chosen to repay his mercy. Averted with Weenog, a goblin who is an apprentice to Orrick the Grey in Kuldahar. While he's not that bright and understandably takes offense if insulted for the idea he could become a mage, he's rather pleasant and goes about his duties faithfully. Deconstructed with the second game's villains Isair and Madae, children-by-rape of the devil Belhifet and an elven maiden in his service. Despite their heritage, they were raised by a priestess of Illmater and actually took to the teachings well, to the point that when their elderly foster mother died, they gave her a proper burial and performed the rites of Illmater for her. After that nothing went right; the fact they were half-devils meant that most humans hated and feared them and those that didn't were only interested in their powers, and among the devils they were viewed with contempt and disgust as half-breeds. This was their motivation for founding the Legion of the Chimera, to create a civilization where outcasts and half-breeds could find peace, but they were still spurned and insulted by the Ten Towns. It's discussed at length that there was legitimate hope that the two really could have been good in spite of their half-devil blood, but they were Driven to Villainy by the constant mistreatment they suffered. | |

Some of the Stop Poking Me! are this: Male drow: Ask me about my *incredible* dual-wielding capabilities! Male monk: You will earn my respect when you can take this pebble from my hand. Female monk: Time to unleash the hidden dragon. | |

Et Tu, Brute?: Downplayed. Iselore is mildly hurt by Cedra aligning her yuan-ti against Kuldahar again, as Iselore had often argued in favour of coexistence with the snakes despite their frequent belligerence, and avoided outright destroying them when they were at their weakest. | |

Madae as well, in contrast to her genuinely polite brother. If you poison the infernal twins' regeneration pool before the final battle, Isair will wearily compliment you for such a clever and resourceful maneuver; Madae, in the midst of a Villainous Breakdown, will angrily snarl at him to just shut his mouth and get back to killing you. | |

Happy Ending Override | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_53c5f30e | comment |
Happy Ending Override: In the first game, you've rescued kidnapped townfolk of Kuldahar from the monsters of Dragon Eye. The sequel revealed that the kidnapped women gave birth to yuan-ti halfbreeds not long after. The men's town were angry and wanted to exterminate the halfbreeds, while the women wanted to protect them. They took the halfbreed to the only place in Faerûn where they'd be safe: Dragon Eye. Just to drive the point further, 30 years later, the new party of adventurers have no choice but to enter Dragon Eye and slaughter those now-adult halfbreeds. | |

Women Are Wiser: Subverted with Isair and Madae. Their Aurilite allies (a Religion of Evil centered on a Chaotic Evil goddess) consider Madae the "better half" of the Legion's leadership, but when you meet the twins it's clear that Isair is the more cunning and reasonable. Madae goes straight for the throat and has very little patience for her brother's more convoluted solutions to conflict. | |

Enemy Mine | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_5989e3b6 | comment |
Enemy Mine: The party is helped by Riki, an agent of the drow in the final dungeon, who explains that the drow (for the most part; the bad guys do have a few drow, or at least half-drow, minions) oppose the Legion of the Chimera because they, as a proud and pure race, consider the idea of a kingdom of freaks and abominations to be absurd. However, according to Riki, the drow as a collective nation haven't bothered taking too active a role in the Legion's downfall because you've been doing such a fine job already; they're content simply to aid you in your quest. | |

Form-Fitting Wardrobe | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_6140b3f2 | comment |
Form-Fitting Wardrobe: Leather armor will conform to a female warrior's bust, which not only risks deflecting weapons at the face but is well-designed to guide weapons towards the heart. Also, it may not be steel, but it's still a wedge of hard material right against the sternum, which probably isn't any fun to take a blow on (This is hardened boiled leather, mind you, not supple worked leather). Metal armor is even worse; in addition to boob cups the entire area above the cleavage is left exposed. | |

Weapons Breaking Weapons: The flavor text for Pale Justice says that when Edan, the priest who prayed to his god for the weapon to be enchanted, realized that it already was, a visiting priest of another god laughed out loud (there was no physical change to the sword, nor any expression of the god doing the job), and held out his guard's sword, to show what an enchanted and blessed blade really looks like. In response, Edan took Pale Justice and swatted at the other blade. With only the hilt in his hand, the visitor was much less inclined to laugh. | |

Teleport Spam: Poquelin, Belhifet, and the Luremaster's favorite tactic. This demon comes at the end of a five-level dungeon (with no place to restock unless the group treks all the way back to Kuldahar), has a pack of henchmen and is fought is a restricted space (no hit-and run tactics allowed). As if it were not enough, she can only be hurt by +2 weapons (which not every party member might have so far acquired). | |

Marathon Level: Dragon's Eye — five floors full of lizardmen, trolls, wights, and yuan-ti. Every floor up to the fifth has at least one mini-boss and several Elite Mooks, and by the time you get to the fifth floor the latter basically make up the entire enemy line-up. Further, there's no place to resupply along the way, forcing you to trek all the way back to Kuldahar. The one respite is that you can rescue a priestess on the second floor who offers healing services and will watch over you if you rest there. | |

Villain Has a Point | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_723be11b | comment |
Villain Has a Point: The Legion of the Chimera as a whole has a point that half-breeds in Faerun are treated like crap, and they have the right to be expect decent treatment. Plus, they also have the point that it was the "purebloods" of Icewind Dale who started this war. The more eloquent of a pair of driders encountered in the Underdark states that their people's alliance with the Legion has allowed them to finally deal with others as equals, without being scorned or feared. Driders are usually considered acceptable targets across the board. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality: To contrast with Yxunomei's detached, alien view of morality, Belhifet objects to a categorization of evil and claims to operate in the same shade of grey that's colored Faerûn's history. While she exploits moral weaknesses without truly understanding them, he understands mortal motivations all too well. | |

I Don't Like the Sound of That Place: The Vale of Shadows is a valley and canyon populated by undead, yetis, and cultists of the winter goddess Auril, lined with extensive tombs carved out by the barbarian overlord Kresselack the Black Wolf, who slew the builders and buried them with him to serve as part of his deathly retinue. The Severed Hand is a large ruined tower with five smaller towers, also crawling with rampaging undead. It was originally named the Hand of the Seldarine, in honor of the elven pantheon, before a siege by an orcish horde and a final botched mythal (a spell of protection) turned it into what it is now. | |

Point of No Return | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_7ae4d273 | comment |
Point of No Return: Painfully with Oswald in the second. Happens multiple times in both games. Basically, when you are told to go over the pass or to Kuldahar, you can pretty much count on it. | |

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Nym the Drow merchant, who single-handedly caused the fall of an ancient Elf/Dwarf alliance out of greed, gives you information about an alternative travel route so you'll have an easier time defeating an army that's hampering his business and then readily sells you out to them just because he could. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In the backstory, it's explained that a priestess from the previous game, Mother Egenia, buried EVERYONE that was killed in the first game. However, she resurrected Ilmadia, one of the Big Bad's generals of the first game, out of sorrow. This led to the birth of Isair and Madae, the Big Bads for this game. | |

Small Role, Big Impact: Saablic Tan is one of the Legion's primary architects, not to mention a returning character from the original; you deal extensively with his underlings and creations. You even spend a good chunk of the final chapter interacting with his conclave, but the man himself is fought and killed outside the Severed Hand before it begins. | |

Interspecies Romance: The Legion of Chimera encourage this, since they would rather half-breeds be born of love (or at least mutually amicable lust) than the usual forcible procreation. Most prominently, there's Saablic Tan (human Red Wizard of Thay) and Dracein (half-dragon). There's also a half-goblin who hooked up with yet another half-dragon. | |

Artificial Stupidity: Oh, so very much so. When not controlling your party members, they will seeming randomly attack whatever enemy they find. When moving the party in a group, they will try to stay in whatever formation you have them in. This leads to a bumper car effect as the party members start bumping into each other due to Chokepoint Geography. The characters will eventually go the opposite way simply because they can. Often, this lead to unnecessary deaths. | |

Give even the barest hint that you know what she's really up to and the mask drops entirely, leading to much ranting and raving. Madae as well, in contrast to her genuinely polite brother. If you poison the infernal twins' regeneration pool before the final battle, Isair will wearily compliment you for such a clever and resourceful maneuver; Madae, in the midst of a Villainous Breakdown, will angrily snarl at him to just shut his mouth and get back to killing you. | |

One-Man Army | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_9e943076 | comment |
One-Man Army: Technically six, nevertheless, your party in both games plows through entire armies in their quests. In the first game, the two opposing demon armies of Yxunomei and Belhifet never quite get the chance to duke it out simply because the group infiltrates Yxunomei's stronghold and slaughters the entire army in small-scale room-by-room battles, all to get a MacGuffin that would point them towards Belhifet's stronghold, where they proceed to do the same. It gets better when considering that nobody around actually had any idea that the demons so much as existed, and the party goes to both locations following a partially unrelated investigation. The struggle against the Legion of the Chimera is what the whole story of the second game is about. Predictably enough, you end up solving the entire thing by yourselves. | |

Evil Virtues: Sherincal and her foremost lieutenant are both warriors who have strong codes of honour. When told about Captain Yurst's fate, falling from her clutches to bleed to death alone on snowy hills inhabited by frost giants, Sherincal laments that such a noble opponent had to suffer such an undignified end. | |

Benevolent Boss: Zigzagged with Yxunomei, who thinks highly of her yuan-ti servitors, intends to leave behind a kingdom for them once her work is done, and insults the player if they mislabel the race as "snake people". On the other hand, she welcomes you to try and take the Heartstone Gem from them by force once she's finished with it, apathetic to your success or failure, as she has no tolerance for ineptitude. | |

Wouldn't Hurt a Child | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_a2b998a0 | comment |
Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Zigzagged. The yuan-ti in the Dragon's Eye are the halfblood daughters of the women taken captive in the first game, who were raped on Yxunomei's orders. When they were born, the menfolk of Kuldahar wanted to kill all of the half-yuan-ti girls, and were only stopped because A: their mothers fled with them to Dragon's Eye, and B: the druid Iselore demanded the menfolk leave them alone. Even then, the women and the halfbloods were forced to hide in Dragon's Eye on pain of death if they left. Not surprisingly, they threw in with the Legion of the Chimera, and were eager to attack Kuldahar for revenge when the Legion turned violent. Subverted in Isair and Madae's backstory; when the villagers found them burying their adoptive mother and performing an Ilmater burial rite for her, they attacked the twins and drove them to run away. | |

What a Senseless Waste of Human Life | |

What a Senseless Waste of Human Life: The Andoran druids holding up the Ice Temple's magical barrier. They are clearly far removed from the alliance Lysara struck with the Legion of the Chimera, and oppose you simply because it's their home and they have no other choice. They are cruelly punished for giving your lead character a fair parley with their leader, and unless you meet one of two very situational prerequisites for a peaceful solution (either threatening them into opening the gateway with a high Intimidation score, or ensuring Illium that the group means no harm to nature, which only a ranger can do), they must all be fought and killed. | |

No-Sell: Belhifet is completely unaffected by magic of any kind. Like, it doesn't even say "Belhifet: Magic Resistance" when he gets targeted by a spell, it just flat out does nothing. This means that buffs and summon spells are the only useful spells to memorize for the fight with him, but he's in a room filled with traps that dispel your magic or unleash Area of Effect spells like Fireball and Cloudkill when they're triggered. | |

She got her wish in the second game: she gave birth to Belhifet's children. 30 years later they rebuilt the Severed Hand, only it's now a haven for Red Wizards, slavers, demons, general outcasts, and the rebuilt tower is dedicated to the worship of Iyachtu Xvim. | |

Tragic Villain: The Legion of the Chimera as a whole.

It's telling that the whole plot of the game was kicked off when the mayor of one of the Ten-Towns decided that he'd rather assassinate the Legion's leaders than sign a peace treaty with them. | |

With This Herring: While the adventuring band in both games is presumed to be mostly inexperienced, one has to question what in the world all twelve were thinking when they decided to head to one of the most inhospitable regions of Faerun with nothing but a bunch of quarterstaves. The sequel is particularly bad in this; while the band in the first game were just random travellers Hrothgar asked to accompany him, the band in the second game are mercenaries who travel to a village under seige, and again bring nothing but quarterstaves. | |

An NPC named Bisbe in the Severed Hand can be heard gleefully singing, "I hate you. You hate me. Xvim will kill society." One of the premade party characters is called Kei the Wooden Idol. Some of the Stop Poking Me! are this: Male drow: Ask me about my *incredible* dual-wielding capabilities! Male monk: You will earn my respect when you can take this pebble from my hand. Female monk: Time to unleash the hidden dragon. | |

Taking You with Me: When weakened, High Priestess Oria stops the battle and threatens to destroy her staff if you don't surrender, as this will supposedly kill both her and your entire party. You can survive the blast, though, and so will she... after a fashion. | |

Anti-Villain: High Priestess Lysara, despite her choice of deity. The player can even note that they detect a good person under the surface. High Sorceress Izbelah too, who is imprisoned and murdered by one of her unforgiving captors after she casts an imperfect time stop spell. Her only motive in doing so was to protect her unwitting people on the surface from annihilation. Unfortunately, when time loops back to the day she cast her spell, she does not believe the player's warnings and considers any such fallout a small price to pay for averting catastrophe. | |

Optional Boss | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_e0606d52 | comment |
Optional Boss: Icewind Dale II has two optional bosses, both within the same chapter. The first is a black dragon in the "Crossroads", which can be killed to close the teleport to Kuldahar. Players don't actually have to fight it, and can achieve their goal in a much easier way, but the difficulty of the battle alone makes it worth it for many players. The other boss is the Six Lost Followers, in the Kuldahar graveyard. This is regarded by many to be the hardest fight in the game, because A) there are six different enemies to fight at once, B) they are several levels higher than your party, and C) because each has only a few specific weaknesses, being immune to all other forms of attack, and with the weaknesses being different between each member. Victory gives the player the Holy Avenger, arguably the best weapon in the game. Unfortunately, this pisses off quite a few people itself, as the weapon can only be wielded by a Paladin, meaning that there is no reward for anyone without a Paladin in their party. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Yxunomei takes the form of a child as her avatar because she's observed that people are generally more hesitant to attack beings in that form, but this is merely her exploiting a weakness; she has no real concept of male, female, adult, or child on her home, and considers anything that lives fair game to kill in warfare. Where she comes from, physical shells are irrelevant, and she considers the player characters' "loose grasp on morality" indicative of their inability to truly grasp the nature of the universe. | |

Talking the Monster to Death: At one point, you encounter a group of devils led by a gelugon, which will ask if you know what it is. If you succeed a very high Knowledge (Arcane) check, you'll deliver an hours-long speech about what gelugons are, their powers, their place in the Infernal Bureaucracy, how a devil gets promoted to the rank of gelugon, and what a gelugon must accomplish in order to be promoted to a Pit Fiend. The gelugon will be so impressed that it takes all the devils under its control and departs peacefully instead of attacking you. | |

True Neutral | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_f55e0154 | comment |
True Neutral: Iselore's in-universe alignment, like any good druid. The behaviour that stems from this alignment plays into the story: Iselore refused to exterminate Kuldahar's local yuan-ti menace when they were at their weakest following Yxunomei's downfall in the first game. Of course, the yuan-ti return as villains in 2, again bringing death and destruction to Kuldahar under the Legion's banner. This has caused some locals to disapprove of the archdruid, as his philosophy to uphold balance has brought tragedy to his people. For his part, Iselore seems genuinely saddened that Cedra (the yuan-ti's leader) so eagerly joined up with the bad guys despite the mercy he'd shown her people. Mind you, both sides are ignoring the abuse that Kuldahar's people showered Cedra and her kin with, starting with trying to kill them all at birth for being half-breed bastards born of rape. | |

Driven to Villainy | |
| Icewind Dale (Video Game) / int_fba4c0aa | comment |
Driven to Villainy: Isair and Madae have very good reasons to be pissed at the world. They were mistaken for their foster mother's murderers by the townsfolk (they were just enacting burial rites after she died of natural causes), and forced to flee their home. Due to their half-elf half-devil nature, they found no acceptance in either the Blood War or Faerun, either being looked down upon, feared, exploited for their abilities, or all three. They formed the Legion of the Chimera under peaceful ideals, trying to unite other ostracized outcasts into a new civilization. However, no one wanted anything to do with them, save for one of the leaders of the Ten Towns, who sent them an envoy with a gift of cakes... which were secretly baked with holy water and burned the siblings when they ate them. Little wonder they finally snapped after this. | |

It can only be wielded by paladins, however, and merchants will pay bottom dollar for it, never recognizing what they have. | |
