I understand the disappointment and what you wanted and everything like that but They were chosen for a reason and interviews ive seen seem to imply that reason is because this game is supposed to mirror tabletop and TB does that.


WotC didn't go to Larian, Larian went to WotC and asked them for a license to make a Baldur's Gate game. WotC agreed to let them.

Larian have said in an interview that the decision to use TB combat was theirs, and not WotC's. I also read in another post that Larian originally were thinking of making it RTwP.

So, it sounds like the style of combat system is entirely in Larian's hands.


The story as ive herd it is Larian went to WoTC, they said no. DOS2 did well they called them in asked them for the plan and said yes. Also when WoTC was askng who would do it basically everyone at the meeting said they wanted Larian to do it. This is the story that was usually told at the duel interviews after it was first announced.

I was not familier with them saying TB was their alone and they were planning at RTwP at some point but i would love to see it, im excited to find any new info about the game and new interviews
