I can't say much (don't know what you want to hear LOL) but the game is not like BG in that you are not looking at your characters on the screen doing their stuff. You're seeing everything from a first-person perspective, like the Might & Magic games. (I haven't seen IWD, don't know what it looks like).
Anywho, get yourself a new obsession, namely Wizardry 8.
There are great character/party creation possibilities, lots to do adventure-wise, cool weapons & armor, and vocal interaction from your party members that will have you cracking up.
Lots to do in the storyline and you can go anywhere ( that you can survive lol) and do anything without screwing it up (in most cases lol).
Try it, you'll like it and if you don't, you can blame me and make me buy your copy...COD of course.
