Ah, I hope then that you will enjoy Infinity Engine games once you get around to them. Personally I think they aged rather decently, but there is certianly some nostalgia googles there.

Icewind Dales, BTW, aren't multiplayer focus but both titles are more of a comabat dungeon crawlers with smaller and more set in stone story. If you happen to enjoy combat side of Baldur's Gate 1&2 they are worth checking out if you crave for more.
