it's more a case of different emphasis on playing style. In BG you make 1 character and meat other people who you interect with. there is more emphasis on character interaction, puzzle solving and non-combat than IWD. The 2 games are very similar, look the same and work the same, but the emphasis is switched between them. It is definately worth having both if you love either one.

That being said, there is still plenty of combat in BG, and plenty of puzzles and dialogue in IWD. Personaly I find BG as a more fullfilling series, but IWD series has plenty to offer. Just keep in mind the different emphasis or you *may* be dissapointed (or pleasantly suprised)
