It's pretty funny how the same users are begging for the developer to add their "essential" mechanics from the old games as optional features as if the number of characters in your part or RTwP made the games so good. I can tell you, it wasn't those, it was developers who at first stumbled into making rpg games but learned from their mistakes with bg1 and made foxed what didn't work and built upon the foundation they laid for the sequel. This is exactly what Larian is doing for BG3. There's is no sense in them to copy the original game mechanics, none what so ever. It's 29 years later, they never worked with the IE engine and the current d&d rule set us different from the 2nd edition enough to be considered a new game. I'd tell you to stop wasting your time but then again I'm here too doing exactly that, hah.
