X-Mas Wishlist:
Bring back some of the grittiness of EA e.g. Daisy, tadpole consequences, game felt more mature and dark
Major overhaul for Wyll and Halsin, I never use those, they have no place in my party. Halsin is available way to late, you get Jaheira earlier, two druids are overlapping a bit.
Major overhaul of act 3 so that it better connects to act 2 and kinda keeps up the pressure. The game should "close down" and not "open up". Also some things are pretty stupid, like Gortash spilling his plan in front of literally everyone.
Party limit of 5, especially in act 3 I constantly hop in and out of camp to change the party based on dialogues.
Redesign combat encounters to be more challenging. Most of the time you don't need things like crowd control, healing and so on because the enemies act stupid and everything dies really fast. Great encounters are for example the fight at Moonrise Towers, I really like the challenge. Honour Mode doesn't do it for me, I'm not a fan of the restrictions at saving, but I'll give it a try.
Rethink experience curve and itemization. You gain levels and power really fast, maxing out way before the end of the game is not really satisfying. At the same point of time, introduce more gear designed for specific builds. Currently I just stack everything on my paladin that provides extra damage and it is devastating, but that is not what I would call a "good paladin build".
Rework sound level, after patch 5 I need to crank up the the amp like crazy again.
Introduce one new companion who is not over the top and a bigger thread to Faerun than the main villain. Someone who is just there for bashing some skulls and drink a beer and campfire. A happy go lucky guy just enjoying the ride, maybe a dwarf as they are criminally underused anyway.
