Don't get me wrong, I like BG. But, they seem a bit "soul-less".. perhaps its my trepidation with the Infinity engine? After the ludicrously-re-spawning kobolds on the firewine bridge in BG, and the thugs in Torment, my joy for the engine was killed forever. I turned to Fallout, with NO respawn, (except on the World Map, where you actually faced INTERESTING encounters) and never looked back. Perhaps some day I can go back, but now, when I see those oval neon-green ellipses around characters in the infinity engine, I feel a grave nausea that can only be alleviated with a marathon session of Phantasy Star or Dragon Warrior true-turn-based action.
