I'd like for them to incorportate some sort of "ironman" option to the game which would somehow limit game saves, allow only one starting character, and not allow re-rolling of stats. I realize that most people don't have the patience, or the will to accept such a challenge, but I think it would be neat to be offered as an option.
Secondly, I'd like for them to work on incorporating more D&D spells and rules into the game system. Programmers get lazy. I know... I studied computer science... so I realize that many D&D spells would be difficult to implement in this sort of gaming environment. Instead the programmers prolly decided to throw in a few of their own homemade spells to make work a little easier for themselves. Any new version of the game should include more actual D&D spells.
3rd Lvl spell (Fly)
2nd Lvl spell (Levitate)
1st Lvl spell (Comprehend Languages)
These are just a few examples.
Plus, the game system doesn't adjust for damage adjustments depending on creature size. In D&D each weapon does 2 different damages. One is versus Small/Medium monsters. One is for the Large/Titan monsters. Two handed sword is an excellant example. In BGII, you'll notice that it always does 1d10 points of damage. In reality, it should do 3D6 when you fight the big monsters.
Horses would be a great add-on as well.
In short BGII is very entertaining, but there is plenty of room for improvement.
