This means that Larian:
- or is unable to do anything other than D: OS
I would probably say this seems to be it. Larian is so accustomed and comfortable in doing DOS games. They have been working both previous DOS1 & DOS2 with nothing new. As mentioned, Solasta was also turn-based and also based on D&D and in no way that it resembles or reminded anyone as a DOS clone.
I have said it before and i will say it again. Turn-based isn't a problem but the art direction, the UI, the aesthetics, the cursor, the pointers, the movements, the animations, the mechanics, the effects.. the character design.. the clothings.. all are very DOS like. they should have put more effort to make it less DOS feels. it's either they are really incompetent in the art direction or basically they REALLY just want a DOS3 with a baldur's gate name. basically it's the first time in my life this is causing me so much anger on what larian is doing. i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one.
they really need to put alot of effort in making it a unique and new baldur's gate experience. at the moment they don't seem to care or show that they are listening to feedbacks or working in improving things. this is really saddening. they can remain on high ego and continue their stubborness but it will only doing them more harm than good in the long run. at the moment i'm already going to vote with my wallet. previously the hype was pre-order.. now will be wait and see if it really goes into deaf ears.
