I think most people realize it. I don't get the impression everyone does.

There are two ways of interpreting this: (a) if the game is currently, for example, 90% DOS and 10% BG, it should be more like 80% DOS and 20%, or (b) if the game is currently 90% DOS and 10% BG, it should be more like 40% DOS and 60% BG. If the arguments being put forth are aiming for (b), then there's a problem.


Well it’s a BG game so ideally it should be 100% BG and 0% DOS, but we all know that’s not going to happen at this point. The game is simply not going to make a complete U-turn. It’s not the vision they have, and just the fact that it’s built in a tweaked DOS engine makes that pretty much impossible.

We can only hope for the end product to feel more like BG and considerably less like DOS than I does today. And even if I’m concerned, what’s been shown has potential, and there’s still very much hope given early access and all.
