I loved this game growing up.
There is a modern game, Lunacid which is a love letter to King's Field. It is also *chef's kiss*

Agreed. I'm not even sure my dialog choices are changing anything.

I would suggest managing expectations.
The new one isn't really a RPG. It is more of a story action game, like Arkham Asylum.
It is VERY linear so far. Apparently there are side quests??
Anyway, if you wanted those things which aren't here, I think you'll be disappointed.
But atmosphere is good.

Oh man.
3.5 hours in.
I'm chilling to the atmosphere. Sitting at this bar, listening to that guy in the back play piano.
IMHO atmosphere was the power of Bloodlines 1.
I think people forgot to just slow down and take it all in.

Haha yeah. I was careful to explicitly specify "C++" :)
A thing I didn't elaborate on (but will if I ever give that talk) is:
If we don't care about memory layout, we might be able to break AoS into SoA. We would need to abstract the container into an idea, too--just like the object's shape.
