I read that article. Nothing much; I don't think there's anything in it that hasn't been mentioned elsewhere.
- Quick summary of how WotC finally agreed to let them do this
- Summary of what's going on in the trailer
- BG3 will similarly let players have a lot of tools and let them have at it. SV: "We'll give players lots of systems, and lots of agency to use these systems and try to accomplish what you need to [...]"
- The article also says "This interpretation should still be more true to the tabletop RPG than its predecessor [...]". Don't know how they came to that conclusion, but we can certainly hope so.
- The article mentions that Swen is interested in "taking another crack at OS2's origin system", which gives players premade characters with unique backgrounds, talents, quests. Swen also said that their ambitions for this system in OS2 were actually higher than what they managed to do, which implies that we can expect a more polished or advanced version of this system in BG3.
That's about it.
