Of all the PC games I've played BGII is the best and I love this game. BUT, could it be better? Games which rely on Save and Reload so heavily reduce playability by taking the player's attention and focus out of the realm of the game. I equate this tactic with Microsoft's use of re-boot to deal with Window's bugs - neither is fun.
Here's the suggestion: Create a RETREAT button. Every time its pushed each player takes 1 HP damage and the enemy gets those hit points. The enemy and/or your party would have to be allowed to back-off till combat was initiated again. I might still use Reload occasionally but Retreat would keep me in the role more.
What's your opinion?
