The original BG is prone to seeming kind of repetitive and short on content, and a bit underdevoloped, at least going back to it now after everything. On the other hand, converting it to the BG2 engine would get kind of weird, BG2 added too much weird stuff that would distort the game or at best be irrelevant.

The ideal solution would be a conversion of BG1 to the Icewind Dale engine. It adds new stuff, including much that's relevant at lower levels. And such a thing should have that wide variety of items added too it, and I don't mean letting you have wildly newer better equipment like BG2 is full of, IWD happens to have lots of items in the +1 and +2 range, they're just real quirky. Refinements to IWD could then be applicable to IWD itself and BG1toDale.

Also, that way BG1 could be played on Heart of fury.
