Well the game in the making is not called Forgotten Realms.
The game is called Baldurs Gate 3.
Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 were dark as hell.
Yes, they had some forests in them but those forests were made to look as realistic as was possible at the time.
What Larian is doing is like a new dev studio taking a game like Bloodborne (brutally dark game) and making it look like Zelda.
You think real Bloodborne fans that actually played that game a long time would like something like that?
I replay BG 1 & 2 every 2 or 3 years and I don't know what you are talking about. They are definitely not "dark as hell".
Yeah well thats probably because you have replayed those games to many times. When you do that, the magic is gone (just like listening a song to many times).
Remember when you played those games for the first time?
Every new encounter was scary, every new dungeon was terrifying, every new enemy was dangerous.
There was a very creepy horror feeling going around in unmarked territory.
Of course if you have played those games 20+ times then that first scary feeling goes away. Its a shame you feel like that. Hope you enjoy your brand new all happy and shiny BG3.
