Planescape: Torment takes place in Sigil, references the Lady of Pain, and the Blood War factors in pretty big in the story. You don't get much more D&D than that.
As for Baldur's Gate I and why I'm going to start downvoting it hard, I re-played it recently, and it has not held up well at all. Playing an entire 80-hour video game at low levels of AD&D just isn't fun. And the pacing is languid, with all the filler wilderness areas in between places you're trying to get to, where there usually wasn't much going on. And if there was, the interactions were very hit or miss as far as how interesting they were. One of the best improvements the sequel made, aside from the higher levels of play, was cutting out those filler areas.

Oh the wonders of opinions, everything you cite as a negative, to me is a positive! I also recently played through the Baldurs Gate series, and enjoyed the 1st part much more than the 2nd, partly because of the extra freedom of movement - tramping through the wilderness, caves, searching for loot is a big part of traditional D&D - you do not always have to be tied to a storyline. Plus, I greatly prefer low/mid level of play - and much of the game was in the AD&D sweet spot of levels 4-7. The higher level play of part 2 seemed like a bit of a barrage of powergamer/optimisation favouring encounters at times. Part 1 just feels a bit more flexible and open, and that's a positive, not a negative.
