What we saw was pre-alpha. Pre-alpha games are so barebones that they are more of a 'test of concept'. Virtually everything you saw will be changed, and most of it was placeholders in order to make a working demo to show people. What we saw was meant to get people interested & aware of the idea of a Baldur's gate 3. NOTHING WE SAW WAS MEANT TO SELL US THE GAME. If it WAS, the game would be in early access. Stop treating a barely-playable pre-alpha state like it's 100% what the game will be. Because it's not!
This is the main thing everyone should consider.
The presentation was meant to show us the intro movie, some party members, that the game uses DnD rules and dice rolls are used for almost everything and some cool stuff you can do now. The game will not look exactly like in the video and some game mechanics will probably change too. There were lots of placeholders and they re used lots of stuff from D:OS in order to show us a playable demo.
So please calm down everyone and stop acting like the end of the world is coming, just because the PRE-ALPHA demo of a game does not look exactly how you want it to be.
