Good But a Flawed

During 99% of my game play, Icewind is very enjoyable, but I have never been able to complete a game due to either (1) being unable to get past a door whose passage critical to proceeding, (2) being in need of a potion or scroll in an area of the game where they cannot be acquired, or (3) because, I assume, Im missing an item or completion of a task, neither of which is identified in any walk throughs. Today, after my highly-skilled thief tried picking a lock on a door for an hour (and, yes, all walk thrus say this door can be opened by picking or bashing), I give up on this game because it failed the "fun" test.
