Can't none of you understand that some expected to see... BG when you see the first gameplay video of... BG3 ? If the first thing you show don't highlight "BG-like" elements,, then why is the game named BG3 ?
It's not to launch any other discussions but if you only speak about D&D, about The Forgottent Realms and (new) Larian's (great) mecanics, I still don't see BG.
The game looks great, the way they adapt D&D rules looks cool, DoS is a great and a sucessfull game, things were too old and had to be improved, Larian is a very good studio and we're all happy they are creating games for us all... Nearly everyone agree with that... There are different points of view, some just don't care about BG1&BG2, some were just waiting about a new great D&D video game, etc... this is not a problem... Of course things can still change, and of course we didn't see anything...
Maybe the title of the thread is bad because it's a shortcut but if you read between the line, it means that this game really doesn't look like a BG game... Their first intention is not to show BG, because there's not expect a little bit of fan service/easter eggs (venturing forth) and a link with the story... (which is sufficient for some, but not for a lot).
So please, can you explain me what specific elements of BG you saw or read until now ?
(no jurist here ? no stockholders of Larian or WoTC ? please don't talk about the legal rights, we're all players here so speak about video game as the player you are).
