Baldur's Gate 2 was probably the best Western RPG I've ever played (though Planescape gives it a lot of competition).

Suffice to say, I'm interested.

However, the old interface and RPG system for BG hasn't aged particularly well. At a minimum, it would need to be brought up to the standard of Icewind Dale 2 (which had a much better interface then BG1/2), and moving to 3e DnD would be a plus, though that would be difficult. I always thought 3e was more elegant, Icewind Dale 2 had a very good port of it, better then any other attempt at porting 3E to PC.

Though I've always thought the class system of DnD to be somewhat flawed, and one of the worst things persistently copied from it. While I'm not a fan of Elder Scrolls, the more "free" system they use is much better, allowing you to build a character with whatever skills you want.
