#3: I sincerely enjoy the silly as a counterbalance to the serious. The best pathos evolves over time and over-styling with seriousness can lead to emotional burnout. If people want seriousness, I'm not against it, but I would hope Larian balances that evenly with its awesome humor throughout the entire game.
#4: I couldn't agree more: I hope inventory is not a sub-game. It's boring.
#6, #8, and #10: I also love unique items. Rogue-likes are great for randomness, but RPGs are really meant for a sense of wonder. It's hard to get wonder from oodles of randomly generated loot in every barrel and crate.
