I think it's only proper to point out that this game is far from finished--it's still a couple of months away from EA--which I'm not that interested in because it's just going to be the first chapter--or the first location, etc. At least based on DOS1/2, anyway, with Early Access. Nope--I'll wait!
What I really liked was the opening cut scene--I thought it was *exactly* BG3--the flavor--everything--looked like just what I'd expect. That's what gives me hope for the gameplay, actually. I know it's only a cut scene, of course, but it shows me that Larian really does understand the mood of the BG games really well, even if the very early gameplay looks too much like DOS2 for our tastes. Basically, I think it's just some palette work and texture work that needs to be done to take the flavor of that cut-scene all the way through the game. Everything I saw looked like placeholder stuff to me--and I think Sven actually used "placeholder" himself as a description of the gameplay. I think the game will be great.
