After you've played SoA and ToB, I'd suggest Planescape: Torment. While Icewind Dale is fun, it's not a CRPG; it's a sophisticated hack-and-slash. You'll look in vain for the kind of intricately designed party NPCs and non-linear quests that are such fun in BG2, in IWD. They do exist, however, in P:T, along with a surprisingly good overarching plot.
