I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed in Icewind Dale. Sure the game play/interface/engine was the usual great Black Isle quality..... But the game was too linear for me. Not enough places to explore. Each map was small. The quests needed to be done in sequence. I felt very disappointed.
One the main reasons I enjoy the BG games, and the Fallout games is that you can explore all over the map in any order. Makes the game very interesting and varied. Lots of random encounters in Fallout too, which is entertaining.
Just wanted to add 2 more cents
