I need the board's help again!!

Ok, so I just finished Icewind Dale 1 and went into the tower and killed the demon and all that good stuff.

But now what? I want to play ToTL and Heart of Winter but my game just ends. Do I need to start a new game and ignore all of the Icewind dale vanilla stuff? I downloaded the game from here and used the Gibberlings UFB and fix pack so why did my game end?

For example when I played BG2, when I beat it, it immediately started my party in ToB. I was expecting the same thing here but didn't get that.

I want to continue with my group and all the equipment I have.

What should i do??

Thanks

IIRC you need to do the three end fights in reverse order, or at least do the vanilla end fight last.
So you should probably just load a save right before the IWD end fight, skip that battle and head for the Heart of Winter area.
I don't remember the excact details, except I thought it was rather silly to lose momentum this way.

Thanks for the reply. So should I do Heart of Winter first or TolT?

The reason Im asking is because I dont want to start one and get stuck into it and not be able to come back.

Thanks

Do Heart of Winter first.
But I don't remember if finishing HoW will prevent you from doing TotLM.

Awesome!!!

Thanks for the replies everybody. I will go ahead and start a new game playing Heart of Winter and at some point do the TotL expansion.

Thanks again

You can play HoW after completing IWD, just start an "Expansion Only" game.

Me? I finish Lower Dorn's Deep except going up the stairs to confront Brother Perdiem, then return to Kuldahar and talk to Hjollder to start HoW. This way I don't have to worry about an Expansion Only game. Once you confront Brother Perdiem you can't return to Kuldahar.

After confronting not-Wylfdene in the barbarian camp, and before going to the Sea of Moving Ice I return to Lonelywood and talk to Hobart at the Whistling Gallows Inn to start TotLM. This is the last opportunity to do the expansion, since once you leave for the Sea of Moving Ice you can't return to Lonelywood, and the expansion ends when you leave the lair of Icasaracht.

Once TotLM is finished you return to Lonelywood. Once Lonelywood is finished you return to Kuldahar, unless you're in an Expansion Only game, in which case the game ends.

And if you're interested, the Gibberlings 3 website has a conversion of IWD into the BG2 engine, similar to BG Easy Tutu. It's an open beta, but well advanced in the process. There's also a conversion of the IWD NPCs mod by Kulyok for the IWD conversion over at the Pocket Plane Group website.
