Huge fan of the Original BG games. And a growing fan of BG 3 as well. This is just a couple of concerns that I have regarding keeping the “feel” of the original BG. I understand the original BG game came out in 1998. And the game needs some new changes. But I believe trying to keep the feel of the original game. Keep in mind this is a BALDURS GATE game, above all else. Keeping the feel of the name sake should be dang near to the top. I don’t want BG3 turning out like diablo 3 did.

(reminder this is just what I consider is needed to keep the base game as close to feeling like the OG as we can while still bringing Baldur’s gate in to a new life)


[*]Party size
– the biggest and most seen complaint from OG BG players. WHY ONLY 4? The original had a cap of 6. I do not understand for the life of me why they would cap it at 4? Capping the party size at 4 makes it feel nothing like the OG BG. I feel like even giving us 5 would be better.

I mean imagine the justice league with only 4 members? Wouldn’t be the same would it?

[*]Double click to move
– I just do not understand why we can’t double click to move? Why force me to use WASD? (Maybe I’m missing something?)

[*]zoom out
– Original BG was zoomed out quite far and it just feels nothing like the original. I understand this game is more taxing and just more beautiful than the original BG games. The tactical camera feels pretty zoomed in as well. I would love to be able to zoon out more

[*]turn based
– I honestly do not mind this one, I would pause so much in the original BG games it was pretty much turn based already XD

[*]weather
- Rain/snow/cloudy/dark
