AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Honestly! I HATE 3D!!!
It's nothing personal, but a "Tomb Raider" camera angle is just not suitable for RPGs or Real-time strategy.
And it looks bad! No matter how hard they are trying to convince everybody that very soon 3D-Games will look like real life, they don't and won't, and even if they did I wouldn't like it. Putting RPGs in 3D is like replacing the artworks in a Fantasy Book with Photographs of bad B-movie actors dressed up as Elves and Dwarves.
I have seen many a good game series going down to bad gameplay less story but more action and more sales: Monkey Island, X-Com, Ultima, etc.
I really love the graphics of BGII and would be content with any sequel that featured no more than BGII or Icewind Dale II (where I miss the Artworks in the weapons detail display).
I could ramble on endlessly but to tell the truth I'm getting a little tired as I have given similar speeches to all of my friends (who mostly agrred) and a lot of strangers (who were mostly afraid).
So if anybody feels alike just give me some positive feedback and if anyone wants to be the stern defender of the new technology (which quintupled the prices of VGA-Cards faster than you can say "Backstab") don't be surprised if I call upon my old friend Melf
