Agreed with the last bit. I am liking that every book has a purpose, it's a bit of a puzzle but there should be more books and they could be longer.
Again, outside of this thread I tend to agree with you. Our differences boil down to you wanting this to be a really great RPG like the Witcher and I'm in that group of people who have been wanting a sequel to BG2 for an eternity. I don't think the standard is just "is this an really great game" but it is a successor to the Baldur's Gate series and is it the face of 5th edition?
It's like star wars or even the Matrix. Matrix 3 was a good action flick but it wasn't a successor to Matrix 1. You can be one and not the other.
