I've only recently heard of the ongoing development of the "Pillars of Eternity" project. I read that it is supposed to be the "spiritual successor" to games like BG, IWD, and so on. Has anyone been closely following the development of PofE, and if so, how do you think it will compare to these classics?
I for one never particularly wanted a BG3; I thought BG2 wrapped up things nicely, even if TOB was a bit over-the-top for me. But I always wanted another game like BG and BG2, something along the same lines in the same world with a different story, particularly including similarly colorful NPCs, beautiful art/backgrounds, tactical gameplay, isometric view, etc. (the IWD games were a little too combat-centered and linear for my taste, but of course I played them as well).
