It could be dumbing down, would not be surprised one bit. A lot of the newer PC games I also notice have a lot of graphics, many first person too. While that's all well and good for those that like that sort of thing, me, I don't need those kinds of graphics. I appreciated the graphics in BGII and if they made a game with the exact same graphics as BGII, I'd again buy it right up. I also loved Planescape Torment, and consider it right up there with BGII. They easily could have made another one, as the ending movie suggested more and a "to be continued" type feel. It had the best story with it, and interesting NPCs with their own stories, and pretty cool graphics, especially with the spells. These things are what I like in a game, they really didn't need to change anything, just make a new one LOL! But nooo!
