Delivor - nice write-up.
1 - something should be done about it. As noted - players have been clamouring for something for years;
2 - good idea. Although I do respecify party members, I'd have no issues with not havng such a feature (be it on Very Hard only, or easier settings too), as I did not have it in BG1/2 (and many other games). Or at least to have respecing for Origins limited - e.g. stats and frst level are untouchable, as their Class DEFINES them as characters;
3 - no opinion. the workaround is simple and painless;
4 - maybe? once I have enough money I stop digging them up;
5 - my son weaponises the rotten food :);
6 - no opinion on Viconia's looks. Frankly, I'd leave BG1/2 characters only as quest givers, maaaaybe accompanying the party in a quest or two (like Halsin in the Shattered Sanctum, or Drizzt against the screaming little freaks in BG1). BTW - stupid pieces in her hair aside (I hate the hair beads fetish of BG2), I love Jaheira's grannylike apearance - she old half-elf!;
7 - yes. Should had stayed an either/or choice of Companion. She is evuler! than Shadowheart - which tells us something ... ;
8 - yup. I will not start on Act3 before Patch 6. And then only depending on feedback from other players;
9 - no opinion
10 - yes, that'd be nice. In one playthrough I misguidedly expressed interest in Gale showing me how cantrips work and he kept on sniffing around my tighty whities. The game thoiught we were an item - yuck;
11 - I didn't do romance in BG1/2 and have not gone down that rabbit hole yet, so I don't care either way.
