1. It's supposed to be revealed later afaik, and story connections are supposed to be strong.

4. Random encounters are imo not needed and more of an inconvenience (I just reloaded in BG1&2), but the current travel system is quite ridiculous. Just let us walk!

5. I don't mind camp per se, it's a nice opportunity to talk to companions and have your "base", but I wish it was "set up camp" (with wilderness background, cave background etc.) rather than "teleport to camp".

6. This I wouldn't say is a (big) problem; and it seems we'll have a good chunk of the game set in BG. More than BG1, anyway...

7. Somewhere not far from Fort Morninghold, if I'm not mistaken? 200 miles east from BG.

Agreed with 2, 3, 8, 9, 10. I hope they manage to make the game "more BG" by the full release... but that hope is faint.
