There is no straw man argument in what I said. You keep naming concepts that you don't understand: wall-of-text, strawman, why BioWare chose RTwP for Baldur's Gate (it wasn't due to any technical or ruleset limitation). Your arguments are overall vapid and spammy and overall very immature.
If you wanted to respond to both of our comments, you can do so... in ONE POST, by talking to one person first and then the other. VERY EASY. Making multiple posts just fragment everything up and cause confusion and misunderstandings. Like, golly gee, I wonder, THE ONE YOU JUST CONVENIENTLY MADE.
OK there, post nazi. Get a hold of yourself. You don't dictate whether a person responds to everybody in a single post or in multiple posts. And I was typing out my post to the other person before you had made yours. Do you suffer extreme anxiety and go into panic attacks when you aren't given attention every second of the day? If not, then why are you behaving so irrationally as to start spamming the forum because I was responding to somebody who made a post before you did, before I started to respond to you? Your post that you're having a panic attack over not being addressed wasn't even existing in the thread when I started typing out my response to the other poster. Did you think of that?
The only reason to use the name of an established series is because the name represents something. In the case of Baldur's Gate, the name represents the birth of the RTwP genre. If there wasn't associations with the name, Larian wouldn't have any interest in using it. The Baldur's Gate series name isn't needed to make a game with a D&D ruleset, in Forgotten Realms, or containing the city Baldur's Gate in it. The only reason the name Baldur's Gate is being used is to capitalize on what it represents. But Larian are dishonouring the name and the series' legacy.
I have not appealed to a need to preserve tradition. I have only pointed out that a series' name should not be co-opted and used as a husk to sell another series, which is what Larian appear to be doing with their "Baldur's Gate 3" that is actually a D:OS 3 without any character traits of Baldur's Gate in it.
