IWD2 is at least as challenging as IWD1 - it has a lot of humor - it laughs at itself at times - If you want to see a good Let's Play of it, check out Master Gradius on youtube. Make a paladin - they get dialogue options other classes do not and they can discern evil intention faster than you can say ogre mage.
TOEE has very nice 2d graphics, among the best 2d rpg graphics that i have ever seen and the combat mechanics and easy to use and very fun. i like the way spells are handled and the effects on the screen are very nice. the only thing lacking is an interesting storyline that is more involved than just fight this level up acquire items of power etc. But for a fun romp in a D&D setting, this game is for you.
