Get IWD. It has a lousy storyline but some of the best in-game music I ever heard [img]smile.gif[/img] Plus a lot of action...

BG2 has the weaker storyline and the more restricted areas (no wilderness travel) but is better in almost every other way. The quests in BG1 are either small or part of the storyline, in which case they were extensive. BG2 has the larger quests which makes the main quest stand out less. An advantage/disadvantage of BG2 is that it has class-related quests. I think this is as much of a blessing as a curse, as the fixed storyline just doesn't invite you to play it through twenty times. Same with the BG1 storyline, but the 'limited' number of classes and the lack of difference they make don't make it as much of a problem.
