The mistake is to consider Baldur's Gate is D&D... What it's not for many players.
I'm sure "nearly" everyone could be pleased if they considered more BG as a video game (first RPG ever for many players) instead of only a D&D computer experience (it obviously is also, but not only).

But anyway, I'm nearly sure the game is going to be a success but not a part of the legend we'll talk about in 20 years smile
(I like to speak about legend, because it's really what it is for lots of video game players).

Link to said article please, because nowhere has that been stated as far as I can tell, only that certain staff members hadn’t played it as much.

Also BG1&2 are very much AD&D games for many people, because we played the TTRPG before BG came out and loved it because it was an awesome game and an awesome D&D game to boot. I’m old enough to have played others prior to the BG series on pc or older systems.

It’s faaaaaaaaar too early to say anything about BG3 other than commenting on the few systems we have been demo’d and the confirmed placeholder assets. To even speculate on how good or not this game is or will be regarded going forward is rather absurd.

Commenting on a direction or a feeling is totally fine.

Your Thread on things to make it feel more like BG is a positive one!
