Mixed feelings, The CGI intro trailer was fantastic, it totally caught that old bioware magic. The dialog was great and VO for the characters were great, I love that there was a lot of options, something missing in most modern dialog. Character models looked good close up and loved we had a camp option to talk, interact with our party members. With that said, I have to agree with what everyone is saying about the visuals, it feels like a DOS game instead of a BG game, it does not even match the feeling the CGI gave off. I can understand wanting to reuse assets, but it really is jarring how much the game just looks like a reskinned DOS game. Changing the UI at the miniumum would probably help a lot. It is also weird that one advantage of DOS 2 where you could pick origin characters and change their class to suit our play style is not an option here where the origin characters are fixed classes. I wanted to play the vampire spawn, but wanted to be a wizard first play through, guess I will have to play someone else.
My worries:
Towns and cities, I hope we can go to cities and cities they will actually be pretty big (like shown in the CGI) so we have a lot to explore/do and not just be basically towns.
Summoning: Summoning in DOS 2 sucked. You got only one summons in DOS, I REALLY hope that we have summoning, we get cool summons (especially hope we can be necromancers and necromacer summons), and we can summon MULTIPLE things.
This probably sounded more negative than intended, but I did overall enjoy what I saw.
