I have over 2000 hrs in BG EE on steam and no idea how much before EE came out.
And i cant force myself to finish the DOS2, i started the game many times and i like min maxing but its just... random loot ruines the game.
1) Party selection must be same as in baldurs gate, drag and move mouse to make a square which selects characters, this is absolute must have for the game to succeed as baldur´s gate.. The chain / unchain party together is a DOS2 mechanic and i absolutely despice it. (Larian probably made this mechanic for the multiplayer purpose, but it´s steel awful for single player experience) or at least make a damn shortcut key, select all party members (insta chain all or unchain all)
2) randomised loot, i mean i hope it is obvious but if the game is gonna have same random loot mechanic as DOS2, i dont think anyone is going to buy it.
This mechanic ruines the experience of finding awesome items, you think you find a legendary item but it becomes absolete after you level up... and even this green blue orange mechanic is not from BG. Items must be powerfull on its own without the colour saying hey YOU stupid this is legendary!!!
Remember celestial fury katana?? absolute love!! this is what we are talking about... Vecna robes!! ring of gaxx, boots of speed, verscona from bg1 even those boots which give +5 vs ranged attacks.
The loot is big part of what makes BG so fun.
3) another feature which is so cool about BG and is not available in other rpgs, is the spell pronunciation, divine spells and some other are not just some beep beep boom sounds, it adds so much to the atmosphere of the BG world. Its not so expensive to record a bunch of awesome spells and add to the game, hell you could just copy already existing spell sounds and attach to your DOS 2 engine !!
4) classes difference, i dont think i have seen any videos revealing spell book, i mean everyone knows how awesome it is to play solo sorcerer and that there is a difference in sorcerer and mage.... sure rogue and warrior and paladin etc. could use DOS2 interface but what about sorcerers ??
