I am into computer RPG since I was a teenager. I saw the BG series and IWD in stores, but I am always reluctant to buy new games rightaway. One day I stumbled over a niceprice version of BG1, bought it and got addicted. After completing it, I came to know there was a sequel and I had to have it. So I played BG2 and ToB many times and quite a while. After beating the games over and over again I looked for a change. On this forum I read mixed comments about IWD, many said it could not stand a comparison to the BG series. So I returned to BG 2 and other games. But about 2 months ago my girlfriend and I broke up, as a result I have a lot of time now and found the ultimate collection of IWD, HoW and IWD 2 for little money in a shop about 3 weeks ago. I could not resist and I definitely do NOT regret it. I'm about halfway thru IWD (I guess) and it's almost like coming home. Maybe you know this situation: Playing the BG series repeatedly with the huge amount of opportunities and options is almost unique in computer gaming, but nothing is as intense as your first time thru the games. That's why i am currently in love with IWD: It gave me the chance again to literally sneak around the corners of the dungeons and towers, afraid of what to expect, in constant fear for my party members, proud of their victories, desperate about their fatal errors and greedy for more powerful equipment, spells and weapons. You see, I am having a great time, thanks to IWD.
