TROD. | Damn, i've said it, and i will say it again: how the hell can you decide that a game is going to be überfantastic or pure ****, if it hasn't been released yet?? People who act like this, think they are the almighty god of the universe himself, always knowing everything from before and always thinking that they are 100% right. Right now the chance that you are going to play BG3 is 0,00%, because simply all games are 3D, even 2D looking games like Runaway: a road adventure or the crappy game with Daring Dirk and the Dragon. Wait and see, and don't cry or yell "this game is going to suck because it uses new technology" when they probably haven't even start working at it. If i were an employee at the firm that's going to develop it, i would probably start crying now because of all the distrust from the true fans.
I apologize for the possible rudeness in this post.

Still, your point is a good one. It is far too early to judge a game that isn't even in production yet.

| | As long as BG III will have a great plot and characters outlined like the pervious series I'll be happy. + They shuld add more voice-overs for dialogs (comparing it with BG II  ), more bantering and more romances  I hope santa will listen to me and give me this x-mas gift

It wouldn't be BG3 if it were in first person view and real time and running around solo or with henchmen.
It would still be BG3 if done if the virtues of the ealier games were kept and it was now in 3D.
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.

| | The Jefferson engine created by BIS, which was making the first BG3 and Fallout 3, was 3D and looked like the IE. It was pretty darn cool. 3D doesn’t mean it still can’t be in an isometric view with cool background graphics. That engine rocked!!
Here’s a screenshot of what was the former BG3, which is all 3D, background artwork and all. http://avala.yubc.net/~svt/images/sc...ts/desktop.jpg
If BG3 was 3D like this I don't think many hard core fans would complain.

| | No matter what the result of BG3 will be, i will buy it to the collection
Maybe you could make something like both isometric and 3D. Then you could move the camera around, and zoom etc.
But i think its good if Atari would listen to the users opinions and how they would like it to be. Of course the history is not supposed to be predictable or determined in that way.
