Worth playing now?
I don't see why you think IWD and BG/BG2 are very different from each others.
First off, both BGs were mostly dungeon crawling, with the exception that you could choose which ones to do, as long as you had a main goal. Another thing on BG2 (especially) is that the only sort of answers you're allowed to make are "Yeah, absolutely." "For a prize.", "Nope.", and "Hell no!", in addition to worn out riddles.
Additionally, while IWD had no character interaction and no NPCs that could join you,
it's because IWD was, I think, a multiplayer game, where the characters interacted and quarreled when they themselves wanted to.

All that can go wrong, will, unless it doesn't, but then, it might anyway.
