Things I've Noticed So Far

First off I want to say I love this Enhanced Edition and this is in no way me trying to degrade it. I don't know if a lot of these things are just me or the game itself so I figured I'd put them up and see if anybody else has had the same problems.
-The backpack always appears grey. Don't know if this was intentional or not but in BG original the backpack was colored brown until your inventory became full and the backpacks color would turn to grey. Not really a big issue...just something I noticed.
-Rasaad started with 7hp. At first level characters are supposed to start with maximum hit points. Rasaad gets 1d8 hp per level and has no constitution bonus or penalty so he should have started with 8hp.
-Unless I'm blind I am not seeing the 'Select All' button available when looking through the key mapping option in the game options. I usually make that button '`' instead of '=' just a personal preference thing.
-The composite longbow and the longbow have switched graphics. This one is pure nitpicky, and honestly I don't even care if they fix it...just something I thought I would mention.
-Male voice 3 and Neera both respond with 'You rang?' when you select them. This isn't really a bug at all, just thought I would point it out.
-There is no scroll bar and the scroll wheel doesn't work when scrolling through journal entries. I noticed it scrolls when you drag and drop but after you drop it selects whatever entry your mouse was on at the time...just something that is kind of annoying when trying to browse through your journal.
-The stats for Rasaad's boots are not listed in the item description.
-My game has crashed 6 times overall so far. Three times when trying to create a custom map point and twice when trying to edit a custom map point. I've also had the game crash just walking into the Nashkel shop. This one may just be me but it seems extremely prone to crashing when selecting or editing map points.
Like I said, don't know if these are just me being crazy or my comp not working properly but I thought I would point them out and see if anybody else has had these same issues.

Navigating the journal, particularly with the mouse wheel, is pretty funky.
I've also noticed a few small and odd things regarding party reactions. Whenever I gain reputation gain/loss, only two same characters (In my case Khalid and Jaheira) comment on it. It never alternates either. Khalid comments, then Jahera. No other character addresses it.
At one point Rasaad died and I resurrected him causing his dialogue banter to completely reset...
I've also had quite a few problems with Neera (Her side quest is borked to the nine hells and back), but those deserve an entire thread on their own...
Dorn lack of interaction with the environment (it's the only new NPC in my part) is starting to piss me off, not a single interaction or even a comment about the demon children Albert and his dog Ruffie.
So far i saw no minor addition on the maps of any new content that isn't related to one of the 3 new NPCs... booooring.
Sorry for say that but the old videos where a lot better than the actual ones, that are made on "The Witcher" style. It's a different way of make a video, also easy... so... lazy devs? With so few things able to change, those crap videos really pissed me off.
The dream sequences continue with a fucking single picture for each new dream, that's ridiculous im my view, these crap new videos would fit well in the place of the static pictures, or even a sequence of pictures based on the storyteller speech. Damn, again another simple thing to do, a easy way to please ignored.
The old NPCs can't be changed, but at least a speed up on their original banters could be done, so far no one spoke in my party except Dorn in reason of his quest (my party actually consist of My Neutral Evil Female Bard, Kagain, Shar-teel, Edwin, Viconia and Dorn).
I give some credit to some new things on the game, animate death now raise a random undead (i hope, i used it only once and i got a ghast on the cast).
I hope with time that this game get improved, truly improved, cos at the moment, i'm evaluating reinstall my old BGT. There's potential yet on this Enhanced Edition, and i played to little to make an accurated statement here, but this post is how i feel at the moment, i'm going to evaluate VERY WELL how BG EE improve with time to base my purchase of BG II EE on it. The only game i would blind buy yet even with all this flawed work would be Planescape: Torment, as the only issue of that game is the interface, cos everything else is perfect.
