I never beat the original, but played many many hours as a wee babe. And immediately jumped on the enhanced edition. And still haven't beaten it. I forced myself to try a few of the new characters, instead of going the old route with my favorite team. And while it was enjoyable at first, I really didn't get into the two characters I brought and found myself missing my old team. Tremendously. Its so boring, but I love Khalid, Jaheera, Minsc, etc. Neera and the monk guy I can't think of the name of weren't interesting enough to make up for them. So I may try it again and use a team I actually like, rather than forcing myself to experience added content that I'm obviously not that into. That's not the only good new editions. There's tons of other things outside of characters, and lots of fixes and cutting-room floor content added/re-added

I am with you though. Super enjoyable, and totally not disappointed I spent my money on them. And will probably rebuy the enhanced Icewind Dale and Planescape games if/when they all happen (Thinking they already did one of the Icewind Dale games though)
