Well, I finished IWD/HoW/TotL. I played in "Normal" mode and whilst I found the game to be relatively fun, it is certainly no Baldurs Gate and the ending was kind of a letdown. It wasn't as hard a I expected either. As I'm still very much in the mood for RPing, I have three choices at this point and wanted a bit of advice on the best course

1. Replay IWD in the Harder mode, maybe even using one or two of my buffed chars to seed the party whilst adding some new classes I haven't tried (Bard, Cleric etc)

2. Buy IWD II and hope it's better

3. Try Neverwinter Nights and maybe get into some of the online multiplayer action.

4. (yes, I know I said three) I still haven't got past the very early stages of Planescape Torment and could try that again.

If any of you were me (scary thought) where would you go next? Feel free to add options if you feel I might find them enjoyable.

As a bit of background, I started RPing many MANY years ago with dice and paper, discovered the Ultima series and got hooked on those then found Baldur's and IWD. The only other game I really tried was Thief, but was put off by the interface so I really have little experience with any other DnD type games out there but I'm willing to listen to anyone who feels strongly about a particular game. Oh yes, while I like a bit of the rough and tumble, I prefer solving puzzles and having an engaging story line.

Thanks in advance
