My first statement was: "But Larian aren't making anything that resembles the Baldur's Gate series in any way. So how can it be said that Larian are the most suitable developer to deliver precisely what they have no interest in delivering and are literally not even attempting to deliver?"
What should they have done to make it "resemble" BG aside from RTwP? And how can you state that so definitively when the game is in pre-alpha?
And doesn't it stand to reason that WotC knows Larian does turn based games, and that they (WotC) wanted it that way? That they chose Larian for the excellent job they did with a turn based game like DOS2 and expected something similar to be done with BG3?
Calling it a cashgrab is unfounded. If you think no good effort is being made to make a great game, then I can see why you might think so. But nothing Larian has done, especially with DOS2, shows they don't care about the product they put out. Quite the opposite.
