| 3d isn't necessarily a bad thing. Now I don't mean bg in particular, but a lot of great games have come in 3d form. Baldur's Gate however, doesn't need the switch at all. If your talking about fixing sub par things change the character models and the spell effects, but for god's sake, do not change the backgrounds.
Now I can say without hesitation that this game does not need any changing in the views or the landscape, because quite frankly, it's like your walking through a masterpiece when you play this game.
However, I can also say that character models and spell animations could always use improvement. I'm not saying to completely change them, it just might be nice to see more attack animations. It's something I hate to say, because I like the way the character's look, and I like the spell animations. I guess if you were to put on two different suits of platemail and they were to look different in shape, not just color, that would be cool too.
So in conclusion, if you gotta change something, change the character models and maybe the spell animations. Don't change the background and the maps, because to me they're already perfect. Years from now a 3d map from this period of time will look like it has bad textures and is unrealistic, but not Baldur's Gate. It always looks good no matter how long it's been out because it's not a 3d landscape, it's the best it can be already. Look at all the people who still like the graphics in BG right now, and then those same people at the same time would love to see the remake of FFVII have improved graphics.
Sorry, went off on a rant there. The only thing that could possibly need changing are the character models and the spell animations. Leave everything else the same.
