The graphics engine (2D or 3D) has nothing much to do with gamequality.
For me, it has. Although a game in 2d graphics seem to be passe these days, I enjoy it better than others. And this old-fashioned game engine looks --to me, in any case-- to be just the right one for a BG series. Personally, I didn't like NWN graphics at all. Not to mention the bad story, or the lack of it, or the allusions to Planescape:Torment and my numerous senses of deja-vu in the second expansion pack.

Call me a pessimist if you like, but as history goes I don't hold my expectations too high.
