Ye just described Neverwinter Nights y'know Xandy
. Well, except for the FPS view, that is. I agree, there's absolutely nothing wrong with 3d, but there ARE "3d" things that, if they do it, could seriously ruin the game.
Thing #1: making it look like a FPS - this isn't Doom.
Thing #2: not using the latest in 3d technology - this is BG3! If they slack off and use outmoded tech for the 3d than that's really depressing. They could be excused for using outmoded stuff if they were doing 2d but since they want to go "modern" and use 3d they had BETTER do it right.
About the storyline, I think they know about the pressure on them to make the storyline good. Unlike some other developers (like the ones who made Spellforce, I just can't get over how much money I wasted on that piece of ... nevermind) they are following a
legacy. It's like the makers of Doom 3 saying, "Oh, this game's too violent, let's make it like Myst!". They
know that half of any BG game is its storyline, just like the makers of Doom know half of Doom is its violence. I'm sure the devs won't let us down (then again, who can trust them thar greedy devs). I actually see no problem having an
option for an over-the-shoulder view, but for goodness sakes put in the pseudo-isometric view as an option too. As for henchmen, come on we all know that a good portion of what we loved in the series is the interaction among henchmen. They
know what happened to NWN, let's just hope they're smart enough not to make that mistake ...
