Yeah what bothers me most about these debates (including in other forums) is the very obvious attempt by people who are hardcore fans of Larian and the D:OS games to demand that this game be just like D:OS2, because I guess every RPG ever made from now on must be just like D:OS2.
As someone who hates TB, I would still be willing to hold my nose and live with a crappy TB combat system just because I am a hardcore fan of the original BG games. What I won't accept is this game essentially being a D:OS2 remake. And yes, borrowing everything from D:OS2 except for one thing (third person instead of isometric, for example) does NOT qualify as this game being different from D:OS2.
