OK, so you deviate from the norm occasionally; maybe you’ve got a couple of slots leftover and pick a bard for comic relief, or a monk, because you’re keen to learn the combat function of a smoothly shaved head.

Icewind Dale II is the snow-tipped hill on which I’ve chosen to die. It has no developer-made companions, so you’re free to build an entire party from scratch right at the beginning of the game.
