This game looks very nice, but:

I'm in the pro RTwP camp 100%. I don't buy the argument that since the old combat system in the originals was iffy that it has to be that way in this day and age. I know the BG1/BG2 battles had their flaws but they had that intense and chaotic feel to them that really appealed to me. It just flowed better due to the simultaneous actions. Good for those that like RT, and i'm not bashing you, but this might actually make this a deal breaker for me. As far as graphics go, they seem a tad too pristine. I actually do think of D3 and D:OS when looking at this.

I want to applaud Sven for having the guts to actually play a game in mid development that has loads of bugs and missing features. And I did enjoy watching it. The characters did feel bland but I honestly didn't have high hopes (that one is hard to pull off).

Summed up, it looks to become a great game but it has nothing to do with the BG series. I fear i will grow bored with this, just like Divinity.
