    What we asked:

    Q: What is the best new feature of Icewind Dale 2 in your opinion?
    (273 votes total)

    Subraces (83) 30%
    3e feats & skills (65) 24%
    3e multiclassing (50) 18%
    3e classes & half-orcs (27) 10%
    3e combat rules (17) 6%
    New portraits (10) 4%
    Specialized clerics (8) 3%
    New interface (7) 3%
    Other (6) 2%

    Subraces are, without a doubt, the best new feature of Icewind Dale 2 according to the 30% of those who voted in our poll. Really, what could be more cool than being able to play Drizzt, err, I mean a drow.

    3e feats & skills have got a big number of people excited as well. 24% of the participants in our poll say that these 3rd edition D&D elements are the best new thing in IWD2.

    3e multiclassing is also quite popular, with 18% of poll votes. Ah, now everyone can finally play that elven barbarian and gnome paladin they've been dreaming of... (Well, maybe not, but hey, the option's there.)

    3e classes & half-orcs are the best new features in the opinion of 10% of those who voted in the poll. Just to refresh your memory, the classes are monk, sorcerer and barbarian and the half-orc is... Well, still ugly and mostly orc. Tough luck.

    3e combat rules, (including the AC now going upwards and so on) are what 6% of people regard as the best new feature of IWD2.

    Some people (4%) even went so far as to say that new portraits we'll see in IWD2 are the best new feature of the game. Though I don't know if that's a compliment to BIS or an insult to everyone else but the artists. Still, we have to admit that the portrait art has been excellent in IWD, HoW and ToTL...

    Specialized clerics (Dreadmaster of Bane for example) only excite about 3% of poll participants. Same goes for the new interface (3% of votes as well), which obviously doesn't get many people falling out of their chairs. And you can hardly see the portraits now. (My main gripe.)

    The infamous Other got only 2% of votes, but no one bothered to comment what their "other" is, so we can only guess.
