Totally agree with this. For D:OS fans, if they agree that this is a D&D/BG game and NOT a D:OS game, then they should be perfectly fine with this game not looking and feeling like a D:OS game. And for those of us who are not D:OS fans, it immensely helps us appreciate this game for what it is if it does not remind us of a game we dislike. As such, this should be a point of agreement for everyone.
Is anybody disagreeing? I don't mean that as some clever-arse rhetorical question, just that I hadn't noticed, but I also don't necessarily pay attention. Speaking as a Divinity fan (I like the OS games but D2 is where it's at for me) I want to see BG. I would be much less interested if there was any suggestion that it's "Divinity with a BG theme". Although I can't speak for anyone but myself, I dare say (or would at least like to think) that others would have much the same point of view.
