I don't know about the CN change. Yes, it seemed like a failure option instead of viable path. Would have been fun to try and transform him into a chaotic good character "yes, you are now free to do what you want but killing party members doesn't seem the best way to celebrate that does it?"
When the EEs were first announced I was hoping they were going to complete the material that got binned at the last moment - the aerie and Anomen transformations, the Haer'Dalis romance, the star cross serial killers plot . . . Was disappointed to see that they old focused on new companions and bug fixes.
Yeah, that was a big disappointment for me. A lot of really promising stuff got left on the cutting room floor of BG II. The Valygar/Haer'Dalis romances, Solaufein as a companion....additionally most of the late game.... Suldanessellar etc felt pretty rushed. Would have loved to see Beamdog turn their expertise towards fixing and polishing up those areas rather than putting in arenas and adding stuff like the Bear companion.
