In IWD, after BG, the big variety of skeletons was interesting, new, and also funny a bit. I mean, they use a lot of weapons, like halberds, swords, warhammers etc. and in the same place, so there are no 'pre-made' bow+halberd or dart+hammer units of skeletons.
I love BG, no offense, although IWD is a bit more 'realistic' in this matter: undead use various weapons. The skeleton parties of BG1 were probably raised and armed by necromancers. Perhaps it's just a detail and shouldn't be discussed, but what do you think? IWD1 also has a wider 'collection' of undead, like ghosts, wraths and those insane zombies (can't remember their name) who reflect cruelty, human tragedy and undead hunger... unlike the cripple zombies in BG1... (By the way, BG1 is still perfect. It does not need more undead or such. The lines above were just for comparing purpose.) -------------------- Mental harmony dispels the darkness.
