| I have always held IWD in a very high regard - It was my actual first D+D based game and I absolutely loved it - I loved being able to be diverse in my character creation and trying to find the perfectly balanced party. Not only that, but in my view the game is stunning, much more so than Baldur's Gate 1 or 2. I love the scenery, the places, the story.
SPOILER I have always loved the look of Easthaven frozen over, the amazement of Kuldahar, when you first walk into Dragon's Eye - I was truly excited to visit these places.
Not only that but I really enjoyed the story and some of the boss battles were quite fun.
However, as far as customisation goes, the feats in IWD 2 did add a lot and I love that game just as much (A bit less) Once again I love the setting
I absolutely love Shaengarne Bridge, the lava underworld and the Severed Hand, and once again Kuldahar which still looks amazing... And i forgot when it was but in the jungle in the area when you fight the dragon - Marvellous
I just prefer the setting I guess. For a long time BG just wasn't as satisfying as IWD. I still love all the games but being as it was my first (hehe) it has always held a special place in my heart. FINISH IT - It is worth it in my opinion.
Also the music is great, especially the menu music  |
