I'm still holding out the hope that they will surprise us big time with massive changes down the road: revamped engine, "toilet chain" gone, much better balanced rules - both homebrews and DnD, 6-person party, much more companions, better writing, etc. It's like, they had this very ambitious idea for this project, but needed to gather an appropriate amount of fund, so they used the label Baldur's Gate and the DnD appeal, and threw out a full-price EA. But they had to quickly put together something to show people, so they just used the DOS engine with its existing systems to make the demo/EA. Now that they have their money, who knows, they might be conducting large-scale overhauls of everything. The fact that they haven't said anything for such a long time may just mean that they're very confident that the changes they have implementing would justify the silence. Is this too optimistic I wonder?
Ready to be dissapointed ?
I have the same hopes but unfortunately I think their vision is to adapt the setting to their style rather than adapt their style to the setting.
