I don't understand the "it looks like DOS so therefore it's not BG" criticism. Did you want iso with hand-drawn maps or something? I understand if you don't like the way Larian writes dialogue, as OS 1 was pretty bad, but I thought they improved quite a bit for the sequel.
The bottom line for me is this:
1) Larian made 2 RPGs I really enjoyed already.
2) It's D&D, which I love. And it's a Baldur's Gate SEQUEL-- arguably the single greatest classic RPG series ever made.
3) It looks a lot like Neverwinter Nights 2, which I actually enjoyed more than BG.
4) I also see the XCOM vibe here, and XCOM is my favorite game series ever.
5) The graphics/character models/animations look brilliant to me.
This game looks pure-win to me.
BG hand-drawn maps still look 1000x better then most of contemporary 3d wannabe production. DOS included.
Not that I would hate DOS for how it looks like, just sayin.
