I still think what I thought whenever the game first came out, I know I'm going to enjoy the game but it doesn't feel like BG, unless the story somehow makes me feel something I've yet to feel that's how it is.
The game feels a lot like DOS3 with a forgotten realms background (even most of the music feels straight out of DOS2, I know the composer is the same but that doesn't mean the music has to be the same). The only games that feels to me like the old BG's is the pathfinder games (pillars of eternity didn't do it either, even if I also enjoyed it)
