How IWD 2 compared to IWD 1 ?

1/ First and foremost it uses 3rd edition rules. Gone are the negative AC, the THAC0, amnesia when dual classing. In are feats, skills, coherent multiclassing system.

2/ Point buy system for character creation (instead of rerolling)

3/ The gameplay is pretty much the same: Linear, many fights, quite a few puzzles, but gone are many of the FedEx quests.

Bottom line: It is still a hackfest, social interaction has been spiced up: Some dialogue options only available to specific characters... but I would be lying to you if I told combat is not the main focus of the game anymore.
