I have already said it in another thread, but I have to stress it again: I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA where this delusional claim that Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 were part of some grimdark fantasy setting is even coming from.
They absolutely weren't. Not in visual style, nor in narrative tone.

The Forgotten Realms have always been basically your run-on-the-mill Saturday Morning generic high fantasy setting.
This is isn't even meant as a criticism as much as a matter of fact.
And the two games were FILLED with bright and colorful graphics, silly humor, some endearing but amateurish writing and cartoony voice performances.

We definitely aren't talking Warhammer here. Hell, it didn't even come close to Planescape: Torment, either.

It's frankly annoying when people try to bend reality to fit their narrative just to have another excuse to bitch.

Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
