kits/3e classes would have been great

[the Elfstone]

i love IWD/HoW, but i think the biggest thing missing from this game is kits and the three new classes. kits was one of the coolest things about BGII, but b/c your pc was so defined for you it made it kind of hard to play him as say, a barbarian (he grew up in a library).
on the other hand, IWD's open story would be perfect for these classes. it would have added a ton of replayability, trying new kit and class combinations. and roleplaying these classes would be a lot easier. oh well, i guess we'll have to wait until NWN, but it really would have made IWD even better.
