I liked IWD with the expansion HoW. If you get it make sure you get it with the expansion.

I find myself going between the BG series and IWD because too much of each is a bad thing. IWD has a decent story and plot I found the battles to be tougher than anything the BG series had to offer not quite the hack and slash as some say more like hack, slash, and blast. Plus bards and druids are actually quite powerful and useful in IWD more so than in any other of the games. Another thing I liked about IWD was the environment, the sounds of the cold wind blowing through the dale was enough to send chills up my spine, or the shear enjoyment of travelling inside a glaciers cavern. It is very much linear and there is really only one puzzle to solve in the whole game. If you like BG I think it is a good chance you will like the IWD series, even if it is just to get away from something different than the BG series for awhile.
