1) Does the choice of our race affect Neera's romance? Will it still affect the original romances?
2) What rule fixes or changes have been made? There are many rules in the Baldur's Gate manual which are not in the game -- whether these are bugs or deliberate omissions is hard to say, and perhaps immaterial. Examples:
• Wisdom giving a penalty or bonus to your Magic Defense Adjustment (vs. mind-affecting spells)
• Racial natural resistances. Elves to charm and sleep, dwarves and halflings to magic and poison, gnomes to magic, etc.
• Racial weapon bonuses. Elves with long swords and bows, halflings with slings, etc.
• Racial level caps for non-humans (OK, so we know implementing this one would be silly)
• Perhaps others I'm unaware of or am forgetting.
And of course, changes were made to THAC0 (caps at 0) and spell progression. Not to mention multiclass characters getting High Level Abilities (HLAs) at much lower levels than their single class counterparts, though that won't come into play until Throne of Bhaal.
