For me its mostly about removing any form of DOS flavor, especially animations, writing and skill effects. BG inspired music and UI would be welcome as well of course. And more companions, that you get to discover in the world and can’t play yourself
Perhaps the most important thing though is to remove the past tense dialogue options. That one is crucial.
I think the animations, sound and item icons would be the easiest way for me to be pulled in. In watching the demonstrations the things I did not see.
1. No spell casting incantations
2. No spell casting animations (unique spell type). See games like Solasta, Pathfinder Kingmaker, NWN or almost any other D&D game for inspiration
---- I would say Solasta is looking fantastic
3. The icons for items should be unique. Using the exact same assets as DOS pretty much feels like paying DOS. That's ok, but I would like it to feel it's like its own.
4. Movement, Jumping and combat animations are too DOS for me. BUT.. everything else looks great. I'm not complaining, I just would like to see those be less DOS.
