Icewind Dale is amazing. I don't know about the rest of those, but it's awesome.
There are still new games similar to them being released, though. The Knights of the Old Republic games were fun, though the gameplay was slightly different. And...
Maybe you are right. I can't think of any other games in this category. That's kind of disappointing...
Believe it or not, Icewind Dale was considered 'very disappointing' compared to Baldur's Gate, and to a less extent, Torment. They're all using the same engine, and made by the same people, but completely different stories and whatnot.
Supposedly, Neverwinter Nights 2 'felt' the same way to some people, but I just can't get my head around it, because it feels so darned different. It doesn't make me think of Black Isle's games at all.
