While I dislike, that BG3 isn't as close to feeling of BG2 as I liked, I do understand that Larian had to make some design decisions, that moved away from BG2 to deliver a modern CRPG.
But what I really would love to see and what would help get across beeing a successor of BG2 would be the character portraits. The portrait-artstyle of the infinity-games was amazing and any drawn portraits would look so much better then these "screenshots" of the 3d-model. It just looks incredibly bad and there is way more potentiel with artworks. This would really convey the message "While we had to change things to make the game after our vision, we tried to make a game that is spritually in line with BG2".
Really hope this will be added during early access!
