Personally, I count Dragon Age: Origins as the succesor that came the closest in terms of feel, but that has cinematics and view-your-character-in-detail and all that. I personally enjoy this, but if it *must* be an isometric one, then yes, Pathfinder comes close. I do enjoy that, mind you, and am looking forward to Wrath of the Righteous. I played this Pen-and-Paper, but never finished it. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

But, you have to understand what they made in the 90's: The best possible computer D&D experience they could make at, and for the time. That is was Larian is attempting for the 2020's, and so far, I genuinely like what I see. From a system and storytelling perspective, I think it certainly gained a *lot*. It genuinely matters what race and class you play now, and I genuinely appreciate the game for that. And yet, yes, the feel is different from the originals. Those felt more... real, or something. Humble. But that was a different time; humble and quiet is regarded as 'boring' nowadays. So your level one tutorial mission involves escaping both an illithid starship *and* the Hells in one go... You go from mountains to swamp to underdark to druid grove to Githyanki all in the opening act...There is *lots* going on, and it feels like it's on steroids.. Whilst I appreciate all this content, it's not the same as wandering the Cloakwood picking off the spiders for an hour. But here's the fun thing: The old ones aren't gone. They are still there, ready to be played. I think I'll do just that, now, actually.

Yes, Icewind Dale was fun too.

Fear my wrath, for it is great indeed.
