What Could 3D Bring to Baldur's Gate

There's an awful lot of discussion as to whether BG3 should be in 3D or not on this forum. Everyone has their own opinion. So let's avoid the pros/cons of that in this thread.

Assuming the game happens and if it did go fully 3D what do you think it could bring to the series?

I'll start us off with the Teleport Field spell. I've been thinking about this and I can't get the image of an ogre appearing 30 foot in the air right above his kobold mate resulting in much squishiness (realtime physics as well, what the hell).

Even a dragon would be in trouble if she was teleported 20 foot over her nest full of eggs without time to flap her wings. If you then finished her off with a few fireballs, not only would get the horde but also an omellette of incredible power.

Of course I wouldn't have a clue how to implement the working details (creatures appearing in the ground, euurgh) in a fun way. That's where the developer's earn their money.

What do you lot think could happen?
