Those settings and art style was brutally dark and horroresque.

So its not all about Larian now using the DOS template for BG3, it is CHANGING THE ENTIRE FEEL AND TONE OF THE ORIGINAL GAMES.

That is what bothers me most is that Larian is still using their goofy cartoony looking style of creating the setting.

Probably the dialouge will be goofy as well. THERE WAS NOTHING CUTE ABOUT BG1 AND BG2, why are you people insisting that BG was cute and funny?



We are not saying BG1/2 were cute and funny. We are saying there were cute/funny moments. You know, moments of levity. The original games, overall, had a serious tone, but that is not to say they didn't have their own sense of humor now and again.

And it's baffling to me that you've seen an hour and a half of level 1 gameplay and automatically write of the story and setting as goofy/cartoony. The opening cinematic alone is gruesome. Not to mention we know Demons and Vampires are in this game along with the Mind Flayers.

I'm fairly certain that Faerun is home to dark castles, dingy cities, and hellish crypts while at the same time having glorious cities, enchanting ruins, and sunny beaches. Here's hoping we see a vast variety of environments with their own tones and personality (the whimsical Fey Wild, the dark Shadowfell, or the hellish Avernus).


Sorry to dissapoint you or burst your bubble right now.

Did you watch the demo?

Did you by any chance see PINK BRAINS WITH FEET that were supposed to be enemies?

Did you by any chance see how other monsters look - like kids cartoon stuff.

So yea, seeing that demo was more then enough for me to understand what is happening.

Seen it happen before with Diablo 3 - huge failure, now they are going back to the "original" Diablo "dark" tones. LOL
