and that company never said they were making Fallout 3 as a game that completely ignored the legacy of the first two games.
Also not the case for BG3, as pointed out above, with the rest of Swen's quote.
So you are creating a strawman here.
Not knowing why you think '3' is unethical doesn't make it a strawman argument. I made a point about numbered series, in reference to a general phenomenon, to a comment about numbers vs subtitles. With no reason given there, and none previously that I recall (I didn't reread the earlier posts to check), I couldn't have misrepresented your argument if I had wanted to.
Yes a VERY good choice ... if your goal is to falsely lure people to your game.
Aren't there forum rules against claiming someone is trolling? Anyway, it certainly crosses a line with me so I'm done with you.
No, and asking someone if they are trolling is not an accusation.
You've made worse implications in this topic than just questioning whether someone believes what they are posting, or not.
The reason some people are upset on here is because there have been statements to the effect that fan expectations are "soaring through to the roof" (made without due clarification)
That was a factual answer to a question about the highest expectations, and nobody has argued that there are no unreasonable expectations, so I'm not sure why any clarification is required.
This isn't about making a direct sequel to the Bhaalspawn story
I know. I didn't claim it was, though people have made that argument against using a 3 in the name elsewhere.
but whether the legacy of the previous games will be honored as far as lore, history, writing etc.
That is much easier to show than tell, especially since everyone has their own opinion about what honouring / respecting the D&D setting and earlier games means.
There will be more information released about the game 'soon', and people will be able to judge that for themselves.
