I would not say that I'm "impressed" but my hype is definitely going up again.

Can't wait to continue the story and to explore the locations we have seen in the trailer.
It looks like there's a lot of polish once again, which is great. It also looks like we are going to meet companion(s ?) further in the game, which was something I really expected.

I guess we can definitely forget a proper flying system. It was not one of my biggest expectation but let's be honnest... flying looks wierd in the game and they are selling verticality from day one.
In the end it is just about jumping and pushing. It would have been A LOT more interresting tactically and exploration-wise if we could properly fly, spider climb, send ropes to climb (rather than eventually creating towers of crates) and so on.

It is true that many animations are wierd... but to be honnest I personnaly don't care. I'm more concerned about off context VFX and immersion breaking animations (cows should NOT climb ladders!)
It is wierd to me that Minsc is going out from a mimic. It is not really an "epic" scene to reveal him in my opinion. But it doesn't really matter.

Hype +++ again.
Can't wait for patch 9.
