For me, it's the feature that will determine whether I buy BG3 on release day or stick to BG1+2 instead.
From reading comments and talking to people over the last couple months, you are definitely not alone.
It's possible (likely) that is why they haven't released the info yet (pre-orders). Though I don't know if I believe it when people say the decision's already been made. At least not until we have a release date set and thus an idea of where they are in production right now.
Among all the alternatives posted here, and the many differing viewpoints on both, I still personally hold out some hope they go with a "both" option instead of 1 or the other.
We'll see soon enough.
