Just to come back on the first post of the topic, I'm happy to finally see something else than doubt or complain on this forum.
I do like the shape of this game, and I do think it will be a great one.
The writting seems nice, I do like most of the interface (which is way better than the oldies' one like BG in my opinion). The combat do need some tweaks but feels like it's going in the right direction (I do appreciate to see obsidian trying something else than the D&D system, never really liked it, but it's just a question of taste I guess).
I also do think this game is very pretty, even if there is some visibility problem with the characters which should be corrected.
For me, they're trying to take the good things from the oldies' and change what was not so good about them, and that's nice. That's a lot of work and obviously everything is not close to be finished yet, but still.
There is a lot of feedback on the forum, which is a good thing, but I don't like the tone of it. too much negativity, some people here sounds like spoiled kids. That's a good thing to show your opinion, and even better when you make some concrete example of what's not fine in your opinion, but I must say I feel bad for the developpers when I see random player bashing the game for a yes or a no.
Well, it was my 2 cents.
