The class-unique Strongholds feature worked well in BG2 and was something I enjoyed. They were fun, had some quests if I remember rightly and weren't too taxing on your time. It's a nice feature which suggests a progression for your character, should you choose to undertake the quests to unlock them.

But I don't like the idea of running a village/town/city; if it was implemented as such, I doubt very much it would be a feature that one could simply ignore. This isn't Civilisation: Baldur's Gate Edition after all.

All Larian would need to do is be rid of the daft mechanic where party interactions only happen at basecamp to circumvent concerns over heading back to your stronghold while travelling the planes, for example.
