An interview with Inon Zur, the composer of the great Icewind Dale II soundtrack, can be found at RPG Codex.

Here's a bit:
    It is to my understanding that you have done several projects with Interplay. Can you tell me what it was like working on RPG projects like BG2: Throne of Bhaal, and most recently Icewind Dale 2?

    RPG games, because of their story-like nature and fantasy aspects, are a great field for composers to score. Much like their older relatives - fantasy films - in these types of games music plays a major role. It needs to create the whole atmosphere for the game and to portray the reality envisioned by the developers. As hard as it is, it is the most rewarding type of game to score. It also seems to be the case that RPG gamers are the most aware of music, and that pushes the composer to perform his best.
