Dang I played the original games, but they were so long ago I'm not sure making any comparison is fair at this point. I'm sure that the huge update in the game engine and graphics may play a part in what they can and can't include in the new game, or at least dictate how much time they can spend on it. I'm sure making side quests is a little more complex now than it was in 2002.
I can't even start on how much better the class design is. What did we have in DD? Three classes and male or female? Now it's basically build your own class and you can pick your skills and abilities any way you want. I mean there is just no comparison at all. DOS is 100 times better in that regard.
I agree more background would be nice ... well other than the books you have that tell you what a source hunter is ... and that opening clip when the game starts. But I don't think the background is that important in the game, especially when you can basically do anything you want, be it good or evil, and there is so much more to do in the game other than solve the murder. I've got so many side quests in my journal now that I think may OCD is going to kill me.
So far the game is giving me a very nice Baldur's Gate vibe, and I like it a lot.
