Agreed. I can't help but be curious with the whole thing, but there's little to no chance I'd get it.
I'm not a huge of fan of NWN, either. I'd prefer an upgraded, isometric BG-type game any day over a game like NWN.
I really hope to see more isometric/bird's eye view CRPG games like with the BG & IWD series. I don't want 1st person perspective or huge characters on the screen.
If BG3 ever happens, I hope it looks recognizably like the prior games, just with superior graphics and more detail.
