Pool of Radiance II and (the recently released) Icewind Dale. Of the list, Black and White is the one I am most interested in. I saw a video/demo of it and it was really nice. How the actual gameplay and story turn out is the big question though.

PoR 2 looks slightly interesting, but I think mainly because its an instant nostalgia hit back to the days of the original d&d games... other than that, it feels too much like a BG clone... come to think of it, BG felt to me too much like a warcraft clone -- a small scale tactical battle simulator where you just had to keep clikcing around until you met the next group of foes, set your characters in motion, and sat there. Icewind Dale, from all I heard, is just BG with EVEN MORE combat, so it certainly didn't hold my attention.
