>story about CHARNAME
i dont know bruv, i wouldnt even say baldurs gate was that for a good chunk of it. especialy 2.
Im personally a bit burnt out on gamesl ike skyirm that treat you special from the get go.
I want a comfy adventure with comfy friends, i dont want a chosen one plot from the get go.

>Unique companion story
t.hasnt played OS2. Red Princes story is about the Red Princess and dragons. beasts story is about stopping his sister, lohses story is about beeing posessed and music, fanes story is about SPOILERS, Ifans story is about beeing lame.
the source thing is the main story of the game so its not like the companions gonna ignore it, but every one of them has one major goal that supercedes the others.
Of all the games i can think of, OS2 is certainly not one where you can complain that the companions are tacked on.

>more companions
agreed.

>dice roll at character creation
No.
Point buy is fine. Dice rolling is for OSR types where you roll ONCE. If youre not rolling exactly once then youre missing th epoint of this mechanic. Beeing allowed infinite rerolls is one of the stupidest fucking things in old CRPGs, and if they would limit you then people would sperg out about the game gimping their characters.
Also theres gonna be a mod for that within the first two weeks i guarantee you that.

>more complex char creation
obviously. Anyhting fromPHB better be in this. at the bare minimum.
Also iw ant some proper slider based character creation given that the game is gonna zoom in your face every 5 minutes.

>Side quests
its an RPG so obviously.

>Music
speak for yourself.

>More maps
aperently were not gonna be limited to the swordcoast so thats probably already confirmed.

>free exploration
sure. id like that. i dont see why it wouldnt be there either.

>Fog of war
idk mang. its not the most interresting thing in the world.
I prefer dicerolls to spot whats ahead, simmilar to NWN2 storm of zehir

>party of 6
agreed.

>Night and day cycle.
Probably wont be in, but should be. Together with Nights that are actually fucking dark.

>RTWP
just stop aleady, its not gonna happen.
