I like the top-down view, you can see more and it is more tactical, though I suppose that it is less realistic. Not a big deal to me.

One thing I like about BG2 is an unrealistic graphical effect. It's nice when you kill an enemy with a strong hit and they explode. It really gives the feeling that you are utterly crushing your opponents. "Owned." I doubt that we will see this if BG3's graphics are more 3-dimensional. I am sure that the developers will want it to have a more realistic feel. But how about some decapitations? Like that axe in ToB whose description says that each hit has a chance to decapitate an enemy. Really? Let's see the heads roll then! It would be really cool if when you make a critical hit that kills an enemy, their head comes off and goes rolling, or you hit their jugular, or something like that. I can't see this happening with a dragon though, but how about impaling it with a spear/sword? Also, if you have giant strength due to spells, potions or wearable items, how about some creative attacks? Ram your weapon into them, pick them up on it and fling them into the wall? If you've really got giant strength, then use it!
