Is this game being made first and foremost for those who hold BG1 & 2 as the apex of computer RPGs? If not, there is no reason to be so beholden to the original (in whatever way the aforementioned group thinks that should or even can be achieved).
Oh please STOP.
This is not about the original games.
This is SIMPLY about the FACT that the game looks exactly like DOS2.
I wouldnt care less if the game didnt resemble the originals at all.
But what really strikes me hard is that Larian takes the BG franchise and makes it look like DOS2.
I mean really...put some creativity and originality in this game PLEASE.
It. Is. Pre. Alpha.
It. Will. Look. Less. Like. DoS After. More. Time. Being. Worked. On!
(I could not find a normal clap emote)
And how exactly do you know how the game will look later? What you have a magic sphere and you can see in the future.
What the devs need is constructive fanbase feedback...if they continue like this the game will look like this in the end.
It's called knowing, roughly, how much of a game is complete for various Builds (Beta, pre-alpha, Alpha, etc). It's called using my brain to realize that a game in a pre-alpha state is nowhere near playable, because that's what it means to BE in a pre-alpha state.
Therefor, I can infer, again; using my logic, that many, MANY things were not yet in the game in that state they showed us. That pre-alpha state, if you will.
And yelling that a game is a copy/paste, or demanding the devs 'get back to work' or 'get on (their) art team, NOW' is not 'constructive feedback' because it's not constructive.
It's the yelling of a person angry he's not getting what he wants.
Is.
