OK, some of my first impressions,
1. I really like the character customization in the game. Knowing that more...everything (classes, races, how the characters look)..are still on the way, makes me happy and pretty sure that a lot of people will find it one of the games strengths.
2. Did they tone down the over the top animations for the ranged attacks and jumping? It didnt seem as bad as it was in the reveals and demos. I do think that the spell effects are AMAZING, but really they need to tone down the physical stuff. Dash and preparing to use a melee special attack doesn't need a crazy Laser light show to announce it.
3. I thought I would HATE Astarion. I was sure i'd never have him in my party. I was so wrong! I like all of them so far. I was worried since BG 1 and 2 had great, memorable characters, but I think Larian has made them interesting and fun.
4.Shove is too POWERFUL. I used it after every attack. Lae'zel attack and shove. Astarion attack, if i didn't backstab, then shove and run away haha. It made some of the fights seem way too easy.
5.Theres TOO much interacting with the environment in the fights. Please, not so many barrels of oil, those kind of things. After a bit it feels kind of gimmicky. We've so many spells and items we can use to do those AOE type of things, they don't feel so important or useful, when I can just explode a barrel.
I hope this isn't too negative. I like the game very much and can't wait to see more.
EDIT.. Oh, and I agree with the person above me. I thought the controls weird and that I'd hate them but after a few minutes they were fine. I do hope we can more tilt up and down though, and edit for missing word
