Basically then what you're saying is PLEASE don't turn BGIII into NWN.
C'mon you can admit it, that's what you're saying. And I agree with you. I personally love Morrowind so I really can't see how being in 3d would kill BGIII, plus the fact that developers these days are seriously biased toward graphics, their mentality being that kids like eye-candy better than they like storyline (you know it's true). However, I've discovered there's like a "total dimension" thing. In other words, have you noticed that, in general, the worse the graphics, neccessarily the better the game? The developers just didn't have the resources to get better graphics so instead they focused on the game itself. And when the game loses an entire DIMENSION, like the 3rd one, then the developers can go ahead and develop some pretty cool stuff! But, consequently, I've discovered that the BETTER the graphics, the WORSE the game. Because the developers are so infatuated with making everything on the screen pretty, they spend less and less time actually making the game fun to play. Take my favorite gripester game, Spellforce. It's gosh-darned pretty, but it sucks monkey turds. Of course, there ARE exceptions to the rule, like Morrowind. But for the most part, As soon as they add a third dimension it's all over. And the third dimension doesn't even neccessarily have to be complete, such as Neverwinter Nights, which was a bone fide failure at being BGIII in 3d, even though you STILL really only had an isometric view, just that the view was slightly better-looking.
I am an all-or-nothing guy. I do NOT want another NWN, so if they go 3d I want them to go 3d, Morrowind style. Else, I'd want them to keep the old BGI/BGII style isometric top-down view. Like I said, all or nothing. I am seriously disappointed with the NWN pseudo-3d view, if you ask me it's like medium armor in Morrowind - a bit of the better parts of light armor (isometric) and heavy armor (full 3d), but still can't compare to either one.
