I also do hope that the
Larians cautiously preserve the charecteristics, the heart and soul of the original
, as also described in the
"5th Anniversary article" Alrik posted in the other thread, and what made it unique as the fantastic mixture it turned out to be - the humor, the loveable NPCs (and at least a few of the more significant old ones we´ve grown so fond of
), the offering in different playstyles, the world, the GIC (Game Improvement Quests) that helped filling it and gave the player a feeling of home and close ties to his environment, the little neat and more personal quests and so on... - while translating it into a 3D environment that seems to be obligate way to do it nowadays.
Don´t make it a Gothic-in-Rivellon, please.
Evolution is the key - no revolution!
Look how
Piranha Bytes tried the latter... - and fell flat on their noses, even losing their original IP in the aftermath!
All elements have to be carefully improved while maintaining the delicate balance of gameplay elements and creating a sound overall composition.
Anyway, i hope they know what their doing!
