I would never strongly disagree openly with the *WEBMASTER ALMIGHTY* unless I really meant it, but I believe BGII to be the best CRPG to date, overall. IWD has its moments, and I loved playing it through( the first few times), but it is so completely linear. Do this, then you can go do this, after that, you are allowed to go do this. BGII allows you to do any number of quests right from the start before you finally progress forward in the main plot (or head straight for it). Plus, I find the romances in BGII and the character dialog (much better, longer than BGI) adds a significant amount of game depth.

If you play by yourself, but use serial multiplayer to generate all six characters in BGI, then you might like IWD more. If you want a "story" that unfolds and intertwines around your characters, try BGII. Another thought "high levels"
