Anyway, the thread was "what would you like to be surprised by". If they did that, and I am not saying they are, I would like to be surprised by that. I make no predictions, merely that it would be a nice surprise IF they did that. Well, it would be a nice surprise to me.
Yes, realism isn’t required here! Though for me a rebalancing of the game in favour of a party of six
wouldn’t be a welcome surprise. I’d probably want to be forewarned so that I could have some time to reconcile myself to a change like this
.
Ah, if realism isn't required, I didn't get the memo. Sometimes I default into the "Pour cold water over it in the name of realism" guy. If realism is no big deal, here's my surprise wishes:
-D/N cycle
-Massive world to explore, complete with many dungeons, detailed towns, wide wildernesses, and interesting characters.
-More BG2 characters returning, including Edwin the Lich, Jon Irenicus (specifically whatever monstrosity remains of him), Viconia (original VA), Jan Jansen, etc.
-BG2-level companion quantity (like 15), with Dragon Age/Mass Effect level quality/depth, and current BG3 levels of permutations for interaction.
-Being able to use any spell, ability, or move on any character or environment and have it produce a unique response in some way.
-
Somewhat joking, but the Dead Three decide to put some of their Divine Essence into the tadpoles as a means of weaponizing the Cult of the Absolute to its greatest capacity, but something goes wrong and we end up with the consciousness of the Bhaalspawn. As a result, somehow Sarevok returned.
-Z axis tilting and the ability to keep the camera zoomed in.
-Interactions with deities and patrons.
-Significant shades of grey in moral decision-making and the ability to have different flavors of neutral and evil.
