2, mostly because of the incredible variation of character creation. I really wish that they'd been willing to do an expansion.

Another thing I like about IWD2 is the larger portraits. The larger size allows for bigger pics to be used. And those bigger pics are easier to edit, than the older IWD1/BG2 sized pics. Portrait edits are fun to do, if you have a decent graphics program like Pain Shop Pro. And if you have some imagination and a little talent, you can create your own edits, particularly ones that fit your idea of what a new character will look like. Let me tell you, a new IWD2 party with a nice custom backstory and custom portraits for each character is a real joy to play!

The really nice thing about IWD1 is the HOW and TOTL expansions that add so much more gaming goodness.
