It is hard to RP the weather when the script makes it rain most of the time haha.
Though I would welcome weather penalties and such and different weather forecasts.

This actually is a huge one for me. I have a powerful pc and a 300 mb/s connection and it still takes a LOT of time to zone due to the age of the game. I hate zoning so I zone the least amount possible.

Zoning is for me the main reason to be around FAI.
Baldurs gate is beautiful but nwn2 is an old game and doesn't run all that smooth.
It takes long to get from point A to B, and the loading times take a while.
Especially when there is an event going on I can get stuck for 30 sec+ a screen.

In some way I think it is a bit too big for it's own good.

Another thing is finding people in general, in FAI it is in general easy to start some random RP.
There are lots of areas around where you can find players.

While in BGC you probably miss them unless you meta game a bit.
For me it would feel forced for my PC to visit every tavern looking for some one to rp with.

I would welcome a weather script that rewards players for going towards a tavern and make the weather have some effects of your well being.
You could even give some buff/reward for eating food and what not.

But as it stands now I prefer a more central place with less load times over baldurs gate myself.
