New feature power creep

I am a bit concerned that the majority of new features (either requested or confirmed) are making the game a little bit easier in some way. Perhaps making inventories easier to manage, or pathfinding AI better.
As a balance factor, I would like to see a few more additions that increase the difficulty slightly too, otherwise I am concerened that the game becomes too easy, and from experience: BG is boring as hell if you are strolling through all but the most difficult of encounters.

"Don't worry. We're not going to dumb down BG. Anything we do to make the game easier will be on the usability side. Rules-wise, we've got a few areas that need clean-up due to the move to the ToB engine (thief skills come to mind) but it will play and feel like BG. The game will remain a pretty hard core 2nd edition D&D game, even on the iPad. While this might limit the appeal of the title, we're hoping the sales across all platforms make this worth the effort we've put in, which has been substantial.
