You know that's partially true of me. I want isometric. I want painted backgrounds. I want the story to develop similar themes -- charname's struggle against herself, do you see those who follow you as friends or tools . . .
But Beamdog never got its act together and the first version of the PoE engine wasn't so great so here we are. (but I do like the turn based PoE engine)
I see things I like -- multiple ways to complete quests, throwing ordinary objects, shadows and sneaking. And I'm also seeing things I don't like but I'm going to buy the game and make my decision on that basis. I can forgive a great deal if the writing is good enough.
And I think WoTC would be wise to make an isometric game using a different engine altogether. Which I think would make the RTwP people happy and the isometic / painted background fans happy . . .
