Finally, not only are sights and sounds of Icewind Dale II a bit too familiar, but so are the bugs. From the first loading of the game, Icewind Dale II was subject to crashing to the desktop on a fairly regular basis, and offered a number of smaller problems to boot. A number of these have already been addressed in a patch; however, a little while spent in the support forums at the Black Isle website informed me that my own issue was one of bad data either in the install, or on my copy of the install CD itself. I doubt I'd have found this to be quite so frustrating if I didn't truly enjoy the game, but as it stands, the constant crashing of the game kept me from finishing it, and I wouldn't be surprised if the same bug didn't drive at least a few others away as well.​
