As far as I am concerned I take it as a nice way to go back to Baldur's Gate Series. They tried to implement some new stuff (include a kind of "elevator" to remind very old beat'em up games), new areas are for me very refreshing and nice to look. We can feel that they just improve enemies by making some kind of multiplier or any kind of mathematical computing to improve basic enemies met during BG1 ... that would be the disappointing point for me. I really loved to see so much more portraits and so much NPC / peasants... it felt more alive than ever. Really liked it !
