I am not familliar with Starcraft or Warcraft, but I have heard Starcraft is a bit like Total Annihilation... In Total Annihilation you build build huge armies that wage great campaigns. In Baldurs Gate you literally have to worry about what shoes to wear!
BG is a game of tactics instead of strategy. Magic arrows cost real money that you must go out and kill (real?) hobgoblins to steal. Sure you could kill that pesky wolf with a wave of a magic wand, but wands cost money while beating it to death with a club is free, unless of course it bites you!
BG has grey areas where you don't know what the right solution should be. Characters lie to you. Enemies may become allies. Some of your allies want to kill each other.
I have played through several time over about two years and it is still a good game. By now I know how it ends, but there are many paths to that end.
