The seek to have the same impressive experience they had when playing BG for the first time ages ago.They are doomed to fail, because they are different people now.
This is it. The one group I would not try to satisfy are the hardcore BG1&2 fans because nothing will ever be good enough. The experience cannot be reproduced because of the missing crucial ingredient of them being who they were when they first experienced the games. The same goes for all of us, just with different games, but in all manner of things (music, movies, etc.). You can't get it back.
EXACTLY!!! I completely agree!
I felt the same with Dark Souls 2 and 3. While I think both are better than the first, I played Dark Souls 1 before all of them and I had totally different emotions.
We shouldn't dwell on past. Games are supposed to evolve.
And I am a fan of Baldurs Gate games of the old. But I think turn based suits better.
But I would definitely change the visuals a bit, to look less like a DOS3.
I think when the game releases, if larian really tries to translate D&D 5 to BG3, we will see this is not DOS3.
