Jade Empire sequel

The days when I was excited at the thought of a new Bioware game are long gone.

Since I am away from my gaming pc these days and have to play on a crappy laptop, I thought i'd give JE another whirl. It's been ages since I played it all the way through.
I have to say, this game would be a great candidate for a remaster/graphical remake. I would really love to see this with modern day visuals and more dynamic dialogue scenes (with more animations and maybe sometimes people moving as they talk).

Even though MAss Effect is my absolute favorite BW franchise, I'd much rather see a JE remaster than an MET remaster. On PC, the MET still looks fantastic with mods. JE on the other hand is really hard to look at (especially in dialogues) these days but the underlying game (and the setting and story in particular) are still fantastic. This one really deserves some TLC.

Interesting.

I got JE free on origin some 4 years ago, and never played it. I'm on my first playthrough now, and, so far... it's somewhat underwhelming.

The combat is very clunky; not the system, exactly, but the controls are very unresponsive, and the camera fights with me all the time. I like the idea of the changing styles, but the change commands are not too practical (play on xbox controller on PC); Maybe the XBOX version is better (I have witcher 2 in both xbox and PC, but whenever I play, I go for xbox, because the controls work so much better there, even using the same device; something in the way it is programed makes loads of difference.

All that I could forget if I got a good bioware story, but, so far (I just entered the pirate base, so no spoilers if great surprises await me, pelase!), it's underwhelming. A classic savior tale, and the characthers are too exposition-heavy; I haven't seen the witty wrinting I saw in Morrigan the first time I played Origins. 

But... I plan to carry on to completion. There is a nugget of a great game there. I hope it will surface anytime now!

Anyway, Most of what I read here, and see online, is how great the story is. I can't see it so far. I'm hopping to get dazzled anytime now!, and that its not just nostalgia that makes that game be so well regarded .
