I think for BG2, the IE was fine. I don't like it as much as turn based but the way BG played was at least kind of original at the time. For Icewind Dale however, which I dropped when it came out because I was a storyfag then, I think this engine would have smashed it to pieces. Overall of course, as I said earlier, this engine smashes every engine to pieces, but yeah IWD would have been beautifully suited to it.
Sigh, maybe now that Atari has lost the license, whoever gets it will realize the potential for this engine. While playing this, I began to think that actually the controls would pretty much translate over to a touch based interface no problem. I think the current gen of tablets would be powerful enough to run it too.
These are just dreams, but then isn't that what RPGs and by extension, the codex, are about? Dreams?
