Yes, for two reasons.
Throne of Bhaal is a lot like Return of the Jedi, if you equate the Baldur's Gate series with the Star Wars trilogy. BG1 is a lot like the original Star Wars, where the main characters and universe and situations and plots are set in front of the viewer/player, but isn't asking for an in-depth understanding, just a willingness to be taken on a ride. An adventure.
SoA is a lot like the Empire Strikes Back, as the plot takes the universe so carefully set up in the first movie/game and turns it upside down and shakes it a little, just to skew everything around for some tension, character and universe development, and some damned fine acting.
ToB is a lot like Return of the Jedi, as it completes the trilogy, answers all your questions, enlightens on the past, and makes a couple guesses to the future, all in a fun-packed romp.
And for the less poetic other reason, I think the Wild Mage (the new mage kit introduced in ToB) is what happened when Bioware gave Nalia one too many snifters of Evermead. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
