They also say that there will be no random encounters at the end. Double sad.
None of it is surprising. Where would random encounters be placed? It is unlikely it will contain multiple smaller location. D:OS2 consisted of couple big, open zones. BG3 early access will consist of the first zone, so it is safe to assume it will have similar structure.
It’s shame that Larian won’t be experimenting with day&night circle. With their systemic approach, it’s something they could actually do interesting stuff with.
