Combat, tactics are good and so is assassination and sneaking around. The IE games are limited in assassination ability unlike Fallout 3 where its a lot more fun. Combat I guess is number one since the power gamer craves such things. I hate puzzles, I really do. I hate wasting my time with them. The worst one was in IWD2 in the forest which is one of the things I disliked about the game. I'll break out my book of cheats to answer the questions right so I can get going.
Her lips were red, her looks were free
Her locks were as yellow as gold
Her skin was white as leprosy.
The Nightmare Life-in-Death was she,
Who thicks man's blood with cold.

Hmm, I think I love the story/RPG aspect the most. Plot twists, interesting characters and their funny interaction with each other... I also like defeating special, difficult enemies. Like that demon Alec...something in BG1: TosC. Epic fights, like someone put it.

But what I like most about Baldur's Gate is that in it, all these things (puzzles, fights, plot twists) are well balanced. For example, while I liked the story in NWN2, I think it was too plot-driven for a computer game. Whereas NWN1 was too geared towards small, annoying fights. So, balance is most important.

...why yes, my class would most likely be a druid if I were a D&D character...

If you include puzzles, don't make them too complex. The Longest Journey is a classic example of this. Man, that was a difficult game.

The longest most tedious journey? :)

For me the best part of the gameplay was exploring a new area - uncovering the black background and finding hidden nooks and crannies, treasure, secret doors, etc.
