I want this game to be like DOS2. Baldur's gate games sucked and DOS2 is selling a lot. It's so much better. Games should have both light and dark elements, grimdark is boring.
Baldurs gate... Sucked....GET OUT... Just go. Lol
Baldurs Gate was always to me (or forgotten realms in general) a very dirty, harsh nearby mediaeval world.
In Baldurs Gate 1 you start safely, but after Gorion was murdered, you're on your own, you discover a world full of maniacs and danger. One of the first companions is Xzar (take a look on his portrait and you know what iam talking about!).
In Baldurs Gate 2 youre directly in trouble, being tortured in an laboratory also full of maniacs, cruelties and after you come out you're again discovering a world you dont know anything about. In the first few hours you're going to the slums in the tavern, and there are a bunch of drunken, rude people, some grim dwarfs, slaves, prostitutes, dogfights - its just not a nice place!
You also have it in Neverwinter Nights for example, where a plague is going on, everything is dangerous and dirty.
On the other side you also have some rightgeous knights fighting for good, but still in a bad bad world.
Yes there was humor, but it was not always present and very optional.
And yet you could still choose how you reacted to it. You were not pigeon holed into evil. Larian studios games have always had crap stories. If you think otherwise... honestly id feel bad for you and whatever happened to you in child hood. Did your parents read you the tabloids at night as your only experience to story telling? Dos had viruallyy no story at all, dos2 was pretty much the same game with identical stories for each origin with different paint. Baldurs gate story was.. epic.. dangerous, and you were wrapped up in it regardless of who you were as a person... And it was up to you to deal with it as best you could.
