So i got some interest in bg again and deciding whether to replay the old one of get the new one
1. reloading often fully heals characters with modified health (+hp items/regeneration/con20+)
2. romances break on imprisonment, petrification etc
3. game ends if mainchar dies, imprisoned, petrificated etc
4. time-stop doesnt stop spell durations
5. unable to equip a 2h/most ranged weapons with offhand slot used
6. offhand weapons with +1apr property boost mainhand weapons
7. and i think invisibility and improved invisibility have some serious stacking bugs too
on a related note i couldnt find a link to navigate from www.beamdog.com to this forum. had to use google.

You should definitely try the EEs, and not for the only reason they've fixed a lot of bugs. Some of them are still there, but the power of the EEs is in the overall improving of graphics, save/load times, new UI, new NPCs, quests and items combined.
Several things you've mentioned are not bugs.
1. I've managed to find bug reports about it here: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/5133/regeneration-and-save-files
https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/23610/reload-healing-exploit
https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/26527/loading-game-healing-high-con-characters
But it looks like this bug is still there. Overall, I'd like to quote @CrevsDaak here: "Why won't you want full health? Harm your self with spells or with your party. Or with an enemy/charmed guy if you're soloing."
2. The vanilla romances do break on those things. The EE ones, however, don't.
3. It's not a bug, it's an intended behavior.
4. I never looked at it like it was a bug either.
5. This is the thing that requires a lot of work with the engine. Now, when the Dev team is working on SoD, they're trying to fix this thing. Maybe if it will be a success, the fix will come to BGEE and BG2EE as well.
6. It's not a bug, it's an intended behavior.
7. The problem with stacking has been fixed. https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/comment/427650/#Comment_427650
As for the link to these boards from http://www.beamdog.com/, I'd call @BenArledge
@Dee i think the problem with 5. is that it is hardcoded in the original so is an unmoddable behavior.
