I guess that makes sense. But yeah, not very enthusiastic about the whole thing, then. I see no reason why they didn't just make a BG III in that case - in the Infinity Engine, yes, but with a new story, new characters etc. Of course the reviewers would call the graphics ludicrously out of date, but if they're only targeting the nostalgics anyway...

The main campaign of NWN is a bit bland, alright - but there are numerous custom-made modules that blow it out of the water. And some people really went to town on the hakpaks - the original game certainly had nothing remotely as cool as the city in the trees I came across in one module (what can I say, I'm a Tolkien fan), or the undead playable character in another.
