[The Great Hairy]

System Shock 2 knocked my socks off (and scared me blonde for months) but I don't think SS2 or Deus Ex had enough of a free-wheeling plot.

One of the main points I liked about BG2 was the fact that, apart from some quests, you could wander all over the place and complete quests at your leisure. I would hope BG3 would be similar. Maybe not Morrowind similar (probably too open-ended for a BG game) but certainly more open than the FPS/CRPG hybirds.

There definitely should be the "I want to play an evil, evil nostril-picker" option. The more evil the better.

And I would certainly hope that any and all "action game" elements were removed, and whoever suggested putting them in fed to the wild llamas. NWN suffers badly for having this!

Cheers,
