GemRB isn't just a reimplementation of IE. While a lot of the changes and enhancements are in the core or targetted specifically at modders, there are also a few that directly benefit the players. Besides the obvious bugfixes, those include:
- possibility to never even load the intro videos
- (multi)touch input support
- if
cheatdebug keys are turned on:- ctrl-y will also force unlock doors and containers
- ctrl-shift-y will kill all the enemies in the area
- ctrl-w will gather all the ground piles you've seen in the area under the cursor, merging items where possible
- inventory and containers show blue borders around magic items (like in iwd2)
- in bg chargen, the default portrait is randomised (for our sanity's sake :))
- some bg2 gui tweaks/addons that allow infinite kits/spells/etc, extra scrollbars
- the commands (any of the GUIScript commands) you can issue at the “Cheat”Console are numerous. For example: SetPlayerStat([1-6],IE_XP,<value>) will set character's (party slot 1-6) XP.
- innates can be bound to quick spell slots
- spell lists can be sorted by various attributes like offensiveness or spell school
- effects of difficulty on xp and damage are configurable through difflvls.2da
- Some tobex extensions are also implemented (for example the backstabbing bit in weapons and greater choice in the “always backstab” stat)
