[The Great Hairy]

You can bet your bottom dollar (or pound/krona/clam shell) that Trokia will not be developing BG3. So whatever lessons were learnt from ToEE will go unlearned by the BG development team. And besides, judging by the state of VtM:Bloodlines when released, Troika didn't learn a thing from ToEE.

Anyway, the problem wasn't Troika's interpretation of the module (I used the written module as a spoiler, they were very close in all respects), but the sheer amount of bugs and defects within the product.

Let me just say that you are missing out in passing 3rd Ed over. I've been playing ADnD since it first came out, and 3rd Ed is - by far - the easiest, most enjoyable and least buggy version of the rules to come out. 1st Ed was great, but it had major problems. 2nd Ed was generally poor. 3rd Ed is a fantastic improvement over both. If you want to discuss this further, come to the DnD forum, as this is off-topic for this particular forum.
