Ok, I'm seeing enough of my fellow BG2'ers are trying it and not running aways screaming and tearing their hair out...soooo I'm going to look for it.

I really love the IWD and BG2 interfaces (improved from BG1) so I'm not sure how I'll like this '1st person view'. And as LoA says, you have to take the WHOLE party when doing something? Um, can someone give me more info/advice on that, please? Maybe a bit more description of what you see, types of actions that can be taken, etc.

I see Sazerac mentioning something called lure/repel spells in conjunction with battle strategy to help with pc placement?

I am waiting for ToB, as are most of us diehard BG2 players, but I have no problem checking out a new game! I'm not weary of BG2 yet, haven't even finished a game yet! Hope to do so with my multi-play game. So I may not get to playing W &W as much as BK and LoA seem to be! But then again, they've seen the end of BG2 already! LOL

I learn these things pretty quickly, but I can say that a bad/buggy interface design is the one sure way to kill my enthusiasm for any computer game/program.
