Icewind Dale II Designer Diary #11

Black Isle’s Chris Avellone returned to post yet another designer diary on RPGVault. Here’s what he had to say about the game’s current status:

So here’s what’s going on. We’re playing the hell out of the game, QA’s doing really long hours (thanks, guys), and we’re finding and crushing every bug we can. Localization is tearing through the remaining translations in the game, the fact that Peter Stormare (one of our major antagonists in Icewind Dale II) was actually in Minority Report as the nutty doctor was passed through the halls (I believe Dave Maldonado was the first to point this out), the manual’s going through its final revision, and I’m doing this diary. There’s still work to do, but it shouldn’t be much longer.
