Icewind Dale II - PC - Chapter 6 (Blind, Hard Difficulty, inc Ending & Credits)
0Chapter Six from beginning to end, played blind on hard difficulty with a custom party. This is the final chapter where the adventurers reach the Severed Hand for a final confrontation with Isair and Madae. As you'd expect from the endgame this has some challenging fights with some tough enemies. It's not quite as relentless as some of the other chapters though and there's a fair amount of adventuring in-between the battles where you can help people and solve mysteries etc. I inadvertantly hit the point of no return before I'd completed a couple of side quests. I didn't go back to complete them once I'd beat the game, the adventure felt over at that point as I'd been playing this for while.
This playthrough is a raw, warts n' all blind capture, with little editing for "entertainment" sake, so it includes all my inventory management, buying, selling, levelling, travelling to and fro etc. It's just meant to be a raw archive of my playthrough so it is what it is. I have spliced footage at save points if I had to reload, which I usually only do on a party wipe or if a crucial character died before I got the raise dead ability, obviously there will be splices between different gaming sessions too and whenever I stopped the recording to check the footage. Because I'm editing losslessly to preserve quality I can only splice on keyframes, which in my editor equates to about every four seconds, so if you're wondering why the splicing is sometimes loose, that's why.
I had some technical problems with audio while capturing this, it would only record in Windows Game DVR and sometimes it would capture with distorted or "skipping" sound. Whenever this happens I've mixed in parts of the game soundtrack over the top as it makes the bad sound more tolerable. It doesn't happen often though and I didn't want to scrap this 100 hour playthrough because of it. It happens a few times in this part for very short durations and unfortunately during the final speech from Isair, bad timing but it's not for long thankfully.
