Sorry for not being specific, Nanobyte.
Personally, I think the multiple-quest non-linear setup of SoA makes it more similar to Ad&D and/or D&D than ID2. Plus, I'm playing 3d Ed. game right now, and if I ever DM again it will certainly be 2d ed. (modified to my preferences of course) which is a MUCH better system than the "sure you want to be an Ogre-Magi Fighter/Thief/Gardener/Cleric - sure!!" system of 3d ed.
