Well, maybe I have too much Black Isle Studios magic in my blood, but even I know they've done better than Baldurs Gate II (yawn!) and Icewind Dale.
If you really like the first person perspective (which I didn't before W&W) I can't help you without going all the way back to Eye of the Beholder series from AD&D (and maybe they're better remembered than replayed).
But if Character development and a twisted, dark, macabre plotline is what sets your heart thumping, well, you can't go past Planescape:Torment. There's lots of text to read, but after all, if you've played W&W, you're used to that!
And if you want to get out of the Dungeons into post-Apocolyptic California, Fallout 1 and 2 (which I think now is available as a boxed set).
That's my two cents worth. If you've played these already, sorry ... I'm already wondering what's out there for me after I've finished W&W (maybe, again, and again!).
Moni, thanks for the tip re the Wizardry Gold characters, but it's about six years too late. Unfortunately, my characters that conquered "Crusaders of the Dark Savant" have long since expired along with the 286 they lived on (still have the game, though!). Remember, that's when most of us played games without the benefit of forums, walkthoughs, etc. I had to end up BUYING the hint book! In the past few years I've learned that storage space is cheap, so whichever game I play, I always archive at least my final five savegames, just in case there's a sequel.
