I have a theory about the BG3 name continuity. If you read this far, you don't care about theory's being possible spoilers...
The Illithids (Mind Flayers) figured out a path to godhood. Gaining and losing and stealing of godhood was the MAIN POINT of BG1 & 2, even more than any one character. The devils got a wiff when the nautiloid flew through Avernus, so they want it. The goblin loyal to Mablubiat (sp) was a hint maybe. The Absolute doesn't have a shortcut to gobhood per say (?), but if it can replace the worship of other gods to it's own... then maybe?
I don't disagree with not wanting random loot on bosses or specific hard to get to chests. Random loot on minor mobs is fine, sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you get dust.
No level scaling please.
The top down view is NOT good when enemies are above your vision range and you have move the camera around wierdly to get it go up enough to see them for targeting purposes. Also when dragons or something else is happening above you and all you get to see is a shadow while your character is looking up is REALLY annoying.
