Yeah well for me the D:OS games really sucked - the story, the setting, the characters, the artwork, the writing - everything. And yes, the artwork is cartoony BS. By contrast, the PoE games and also P:K are my go-to games now. So I want BG3 to be as UNLIKE D:OS2 as possible, and keeping in mind that they are NOT making D:OS3 but rather a Baldur's Gate game! To make BG3 be effectively D:OS3 would be a shameful con-job, and I don't believe Swen Vincke is that sort of a person.
Everything? I think u should be more specific and not throwing words like that here coz yes I can understand that u dont like story, setting, chars, art, writing, thats preference/taste but I would not understand u if u also dont like all the systems and mechanics Dos2 offers and how the game works coz in that regard I only see quality, dedication and innovation from Larian and I bet BG3 will not be THAT different from Dos2 gameplay/mechanic wise and there will be little to none room to change that, maybe turn vs pause debate will decide the combat but other than that I dont see much of a chance to change things coz Larian probably has not that deep wallet.. As for story/setting and such yeah I believe u have the chance to change that so more power to ya, voice it up but uh.. PoE static art style.. That would be a no buy for me... I would rather buy D&D board game than play PoE honestly...
