So many of the reasons I enjoy it have already been mentioned, especially the music and graphics, and I hate to repeat them. But to take the excellent point made about the storylines a bit further, I have always found the the Forgotten Realms in which IWD is set a rich, diverse, well thought out campaign world. While many other RPG games use this setting, IWD used a region of that world that probably was not quite as well known as say, Neverwinter or the Swordcoast. The stories (at least the main one and HoW) that were developed were just so well done IMHO, that it was akin to discovering a missing book in a favorite series. The Hand of the Seldarine and Dorn's Deep especially just captivated my imagination. I guess what I am trying to say is that the level of detail breathed into the stories is what makes this game so enjoyable for me.
