Other negatives I find (maybe others don't find these to be a problem, but they are starting to get under my skin):

1. Really hate having only one henchman. I think I'm going to be bitching about that a long time.

2. Those inventory blocks drive me nuts sometimes. I hate when I have enough room in my bag, but I try to put something larger in there and it tells me there's no room. I go in, and stuff is scattered all over the place, so I have to clump it all together to free up space (reminds me of defragmenting my hard drive).

3. No formations and horrid NPC interactions. If I am the wizard of the party, I DO NOT want to be opening the doors or chests. Yet I have to open the doors, leaving me wide open to attack while I pull back and (try) to send the warrior and/or summons in (and just because you tell them to attack nearest doesn't mean they see the opponent like you do, so a lot of times they just stand there until the enemy is right on top of you). In other words, the game is built around the idea of multiplaying, but if you prefer solo play, it's not as good as BG2.

Just my $0.02.
