I miss the sense of exploration from BG1, where you had all these map locations to visit. It was fun to 'clear out' an area and discover what was there. It also took a long time to get from one end of the map to the other (a feature I also like about Arcanum), so your party would have to stop and rest, and it made the world seem bigger. It also allowed you to go out hunting whenever you felt like racking up more experience. In BG2, everything is so story-driven, I'm worried I'll run out of things to do before my characters have leveled up enough (especially Imoen, since she's way behind the others).
