And they will try to develop AI that simulates a DM at a revolutionary level. And if so, then also the NPCs that join you may also have a mind of their own. So it will feel more like playing tabletop game.
Sorry, but wanting the game to "feel more like playing tabletop game" is something I just can't relate to and do not want at all. If I wanted to play a tabletop game, I'll go play a tabletop game. What I want here is to play a VIDEO game, a SINGLE PLAYER video game without any of the silliness, stupidity, annoyances, and frustrations of a tabletop game.
Yeah, clearly this is a matter of personal taste, and we're all just sharing our own. I hear you.
The two best experiences I've had playing the BG series are the following:
1) The first time I played BG after about 2 months of regular play I finally beat beat Davaeorn to get into the city of Baldur's Gate. I was so elated.
2) But the other experience that truly stands out for me was a play style I devised to try to approximate the element of surprise and chance in a single player game of BG, which bears some resemblance to a tabletop game in certain respects. I detailed the approach here:
Let the Fates DecideI'm amazed to find that the thread for it at Beamdog is still there:

It was a lot of work to chronicle, for sure. And I only made it to the start of chapter 6 before real life demands forced me to set it aside. Honestly, I was never more invested in a game than this. I still hope to get back to it to complete it one day.
But anyway, that may color my attitude towards this.
