Current publishing
In case this is of interest to others: After Interplay's near-collapse, Vivendi has been publishing IWD. It is available in a compilation box with the expansion pack and IWD2. It is also available in a standalone budget release format. Ham Pastrami (talk) 04:55, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Origin of Poquelin's name
I had wondered about the French origins of the Brother Poquelin character, then I came across this information from Wordsmith (Word of the Day). The French playwright Molière wrote a play called Tartuffe, with the pen name Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, about a hypocritical cleric who feigns virtue in religious matters. Doesn't that describe Brother P. to a T? I don't know if this was a coincidence or by design of the writers. Any official info would be of interest. Calydon (talk) 20:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Game vs. setting
Searching for Icewind Dale, brings up this article about a 23 year old video game. I would imagine most people searching for this today are looking for the Forgotten Realms setting and maybe that's where the search should hit first. 57.135.233.22 (talk) 05:52, 19 July 2023 (UTC)


 * If you truly think that this game should not be the WP:PRIMARY topic, you can propose to see whether people think this should be made into a disambiguation page. 2601:240:E200:3B60:9592:2091:C98F:C348 (talk) 11:32, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
