Don't think your weird for wanting BG2 upgraded...
I'm over 40 and I admit when I first hear BG3 was in the works my initial thoughts went that way as well, but I am intruiged to see where Larian takes this and I am not against changes. Whilst NWN was a different game, i saw it as Bioware's desire to change and branch their D&D style and I felt it had pros and cons. So in some respects I personally see this as much the same thing.
So I am happy to voice my likes and dislikes, but ultimately know my voice counts little on a forum (though Larian if you want a creative writer...).
I agree with allowing for creative freedom, but I also agree with those expressing concern at too many similarities to DOS. Somewhere in the middle is hopefully the sweet spot.
