I got bored with Icewind Dale because the game just seemed to be a hack n slash walk from encounter to encounter with no story other than having some other reason to go kill more monsters. In Baldur's Gate, part of the fun was encountering potential group members and deciding whether or not they could join your party. Another fun part of that was seeing how they interacted with each other. Icewind Dale was just linear, you had one path to go on. I really enjoyed BG1 and 2 and I still play them a bit from time to time, but Icewind didn't hold my interest for long.
