The culture and the general world-building is really what hooked me in to this series. I was of course interested when I heard it was a isometric crpg in the tradition of BG but the changes to the traditional rpg tropes is pretty refreshing and I hope will shake things up a little bit, but I might be overly optimistic, but I can hope! Anyhow, the more I learn about the cultures, the history, the world of this game, the more excited I am.
