RPGVault found it to be time to once again bore us to death with an interview about the upcoming Icewind Dale Expansion Heart of Winter, so they dragged J.E.Sawyer out of his winter sleep and asked him a couple of questions which have already been asked a thousand times before...[BLOCK]J.E. Sawyer: For the core game, there are many new items for Conlan's store as well as a few new items for Orrick. Due to player requests, I added a +3 equivalent version of every type of magical weapon to Conlan's store. That way, it should be very uncommon for players to have trouble outfitting their parties with good magical weapons. All you'll need is gold - which most people have plenty of towards the end of the game. In addition, the expansion areas and stores will have a boatload of new magic items as well. In total, we've created eighty new magic items for the expansion[/BLOCK]
