I have to admit that I find it impossible to understand why anyone today would want the 2D painted graphics and sprite-based characters of BG1/2, apart from nostalgia, perhaps.
I know that some people find cameras that can rotate around the environment disorienting, so it is important to provide good map/minimp UIs, and even a camera "re-center" option to get back to a known orientation.
But other than that, I think it would be a real shame to be unable to look around the full 3D environment, as it looks to be a big step up in quality from previous Larian offerings.
