Yeah the mimic was pretty rad! Something very satisfying about seeing a mimic get straight chestburster'd like that hehe. Even if Minsc's dome did look pretty Mr. Clean waxy, the pure joy of watching a mimic get gutted is something special.
I'm more excited by Jaheira than I thought I'd be too, since she looks like a boss and has the right sound. Also just because it makes the game seem more connected to it's predecessors I guess.
Seeing the preview trailer with the Minsc statue didn't wow me as much on a BG1/2 callback, like if it had been a Branwen style one-off or something lol, but Jaheira returning got me kinda amped. Just the idea of having any companions beyond the origins is encouraging, but I like the idea of rolling around Baldur's Gate with Jaheira again. The city looked pretty badass!
I do think they could have cleaned up the trailer a little, or the opposite maybe, like give it some grain so it didn't throw off such a clean sheen. Plate armor we saw, or the dragons scales, or nautiloid type tentacles still looking kinda low poly there. I'd like to see a launch trailer with a bit more of that polish like we saw in the launch/intro cut scene, just to grab eyes, on the other hand it's nice to showcase the actual gameplay and what the in-game cutscenes actually look like I guess. But yeah, anyway, the mimic was great. Those beady eyes getting got! haha
