I'm never certain if my answer to that question is Baldur's Gate 2 or Planescape Torment.
I just finished a run another run through PS:T.. and as before.. I was left moved and breathless by the time I reached the ending. Its story and the questions it asks are well beyond any other game out there, IMO. So... that being the case, while I love BG2, I think PS:T edges it out a bit.
But.. these are strongly story-driven games, much more so than IWD.
Of the three, I'd say PS:T has the strongest story and the most complex dialogue and NPC depth. IWD is the weakest in those regards, and BG2 falls somewhere in the middle with its focus falling on story, NPC personalities and combat in roughly equal parts. Though, bear in mind, no doubt others will disagree with me.
But...seeing as this is the IWD forum (unless you'd like me to move this thread to the RPG Discussion Forum
).. we should stay focused on IWD.

I agree with the graphics of the game and it's 'richness' .. there is something about it which is fairly satisfying to look at.

Indeed, the light and shadows are lovely and I find they are somehow part of what gives the game a sense of life that seems lacking in IWD2... Which is a bit odd, because technically the graphics in the second game are superior since, for one, it can be played at higher resolutions.
