The Icewind Dale series (Icewind Dale, Heart of Winter, and Trials of the Luremaster) is a very good game.

I think the Baldur's gate series (BG w/ TotSC and BG II w/ ToB) was much better just because I enjoyed being able to explore all of the areas. Some people found the series to be too epic of a saga and became overwhelmed by the size and depth of the story.

I think that Planescape:Torment is a better game than all of them but some people didn't enjoy all of the dialog.

My advice is to get Planescape:Torment either from the bargin bin at Super Walmart (as a dual-jewel with Soulbringer) or at Interplay's Store from the main page.

Then play the Icewind Dale series. Besides you will need to have a break from the Baldur's Gate series before you start Icewind Dale.

Enjoy!
