That must really limit your options when it comes to pc rpgs.

None of them are as good as Fallout 1 anyways ¯\:D/¯

Hmmm, I'm a bit torn on this one - half the games they list as inspirations I loved, half I didn't care for at all :p

I like, and generally prefer, turn-based in my RPGs but Fallout's combat sucked.
On topic: An Avellone RPG, free from the constraints of a publisher, is just too good an opportunity to pass up. They have my $20.

Turn-based is ok when there's simultaneous movement. The normal way of doing things, where there's a roll for initiative and everyone stands around with a thumb up their ass when it isn't their turn is kind of hilarious, really. Not that it stopped me from enjoying Bard's Tale, Wasteland, or Dragon Wars though. Then again, those don't really play anything at all like an isometric turn-based game since there's simultaneous movement. I'm sure it won't be the case, but I wish Wasteland 2 would use a combat system like Wasteland or Frozen Synapse because it makes way more sense.

Hmmmm. No screen shots or game play details means no dollar here.

Icewind dale, 1 & 2, Torment, KOTOR 2 (despite bugs), NW2... I am in. $20
I don't know if they will reach their target though.
It has been a long time since I have got excited about to be released games, but with this, Dishonored and Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, it sounds like things are definitely getting better.

Would Icewind Dale be of interest to someone like me who isn't particularly interested in combat but enjoys RPGs for the writing, the world, the characters and their interaction?

Not particularly, no.
The stories and 'world' are pretty good in both IWDs, imo, but the games are primarily about the combat. There's no party interaction to speak of.

It's been slightly less than 24 hours and they're at $900k of $1.1 mil. I think they'll be alright.
