Hey ok heres the deal, I've been playing Icewind Dale for awhil and am almost through it,(from what other people say), and I have been looking into buying HoW but it's sold out right now at my nearest store, so, while I wait for it to get in, I was just wondering whatkind of changes are made in the expansion? thanks for your posts!

And one more thing... dont forget to get the official expansion for the expansion : Trials Of The Luremaster, which also acts as the latest patch.

Well you gain new portraits to select for your characters along with new voices.There is also a new story which you can delve in and out of but I won't spoil it for you. Oh, and new handy items like scroll cases are also available. I think.
