    Not a fan of this UI, how far you're zoomed out is annoying but getting used to it. Don't even try to mention that shitzoom to me. But I love the spells. Black Pits is really fun for me. The cut scene with Gorion was awesome, mage fights are quite more fun now with the BG2 spells rolling in. The new cinematics are terrible. Probably my strongest feelings about this so far, just made it into Baldur's Gate.

    The new NPCs, love Neera and Dorn, not even interested in Rasaad.

    I believe they simply tried to do too much to a game which is pretty outdated and was made differently than "modern" games currently are. I think many people would have payed just to see Baldur's Gate with Mods either installed or having the option to install them through a folder of some sort. I could be wrong but I would have (although $20 is a bit high, the convenience to install it, for instance on my laptop, would be worth it to me). Am I wrong?

    Hmm...maybe I'll remake the poll in two or three weeks. See how people feel then.

    I was fearing it would stray too far, everyone knows that about me.

    There are a couple little things that are irking me slightly but so far I am very impressed with how true they stayed to Vanilla BG ... bravo Overhaul.
