Honestly not impressed. Oh sure, the game looks fine, but I'm disgusted they slapped a '3' on the title of this.
No. This is not Baldur's Gate 3. After watching the demo, this is most definitely NOT Baldur's Gate 3. This is an otherwise fine looking D&D game that happens to take place in and around the city of Baldur's Gate (I assume anyway, since BG2 wasn't even near the city of Baldur's Gate), but this by no means deserves that '3' in the title. Not even remotely.
Drop the '3', give it it's own subtitle and drop any pretense this has anything remotely to do with the Bhaalspawn saga that the '3' implies and leans on.
Nowhere in this is there ANY indication this has any connection to 1 & 2, even tangentially. Hell, based on what I've seen this looks to have more connection to Neverwinter Nights 2 than it does to Baldur's Gate.
A cheap marketing gimmick. That's all slapping that '3' on the title is. Undeservedly riding the wake of a classic series.
You've got the makings of a fine game here, Larian. Not Baldur's Gate 3, but a fine D&D game. Talk to WotC about ditching that '3'. You don't need it. Either that or start showing the justification for that '3', because to date, you have failed completely to do so.
