Well I went and investigated the availability of a new set of BG discs - the result is that it will cost me $40 to buy the set.

I didn't have that today, but I really doubt EB will run out of it before Friday - BG is a bit on the old side and I suspect buyers of the game these days are much like me- old fans replacing faulty discs.

To console myself until Friday, I am installing Icewind Dale. I'll need to hunt out my copy of DaleKeeper too...

I can't help it, I think I can classify myself as a frustrated storyteller. Computer games that don't have a particularly set backstory end up with me inventing one - like me making up reasons for the Org in The Sims 2, or trying to clarify obscure back-histories, like I once did with FFVIII.

This time, it's an oldie - Icewind Dale.

I find myself making up a history for my team in the game, or more particularly, for the first two members of it, Illyana Icequeen and Cailya Brightsteel.

A Mage and a Paladin )


... meh.

I want to play IWD again.

Yeah, the first one.

Maybe I'll get around to playing IWD2 afterwards.


I'll see if I can reconstruct my Icequeen party - it had all girls in it (IWD, you create your whole team from scratch - much fun).
