^_^ I just started a new game on it last week!

I love this game so much...
I love my new party! The people on it are so much cooler than my other parties. I decided to use the classes that I like never use. Like druids and paladins. And they're pretty cool. I really like druids and paladins now.
Err...Are paladins even allowed to say 'ass'?

I'd say IWD is decent but doesn't have that much replayability. I've never finished both IWD1 and 2. First one I've only played once, and 2nd one I've played twice (once when I got it, second time when I've downloaded NPC mod from G3). But even then, I lost interest quickly and never got past the underdark.

I'm running through IWD with Kulyok's IWDNPC mod. I'd highly recommend it when it comes out of the playtesting phase. really adds a lot to the game.

After that, I'll do a 2nd run through of IWD2 with Domi's excellent IWD2NPC mod. Again, highly recommended. I don't think the IWD games are worth playing without the NPC mods. (Then again, I love character and NPC interaction.)

Waiting for Kulyok's IWDNPC mod before I start it up again, but yes, of course I still play. Especially IWDII with the NPC mod installed. So much effort was put into it, and it really shows.

I might try IWDNPC when it comes out. It's a pretty good story, excellently done classes(the bard is good ^_^ ), but like most I absolutely love NPC interaction.

I played IWD when it came out (I reviewed it, actually...and Heart of Winter...so wasn't like I had much choice, heh) but never got around to ToLM until this year. So I reinstalled and went through the lot.
I also never played IWD2 until this year. I didn't like it initially but by the end I loved it so much I immediately played through it again with a different party.
I've got a game going at the moment with the IWD2 NPCs. I've slugged through Targos (god I hate the prologue!) but abandonned my game to try Romantic Encounters (in ToB now so nearly done). I'll take it up again once ToB is finished.

I still love the music for IWD and it does have a nice atmosphere. IWD2 is a bit different but also good - I do feel rather sorry for the villains, though.
