I'm in me0w's camp on this one. I have a strong feeling that a 3D engine will make BG3 another NWN disaster. 3D probably means you won't be able to make a 6 person party - so I predict its going to be more of a MW type solo action game. My other fear is that it will end up becoming another massive multiplayer on-line type game. The isometric view allows for party building and game play that doesn't require obscene hi-end system requirements. I don't see that happening with 3D. I don't have a good feeling about this endeavor, it sounds like it might be screwed up from the get go. I'd rather forgo the 3D and have a game that has a good story line, interesting characters, sensible equipment, relatively simple game controls and reasonable system requirements (I can't even run the PC Gamer demo disk games on my 2 yr old Pentium 4 system because of the rediculous minimum system requirements the game makers are using).
