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... 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...
And 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 clearly not for many).
Or please, can you explain me why specific alements of BG you saw or read until now ? The game is named BG3, so please tell me why this name because I don't understand.
(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).
Because, when it is COMPLETED, it will be BG3.
Again; you're acting like the game has to be BG3 before it's even playable. It. Is. Not. Playable. It's not even a GAME at this point because it's NOT PLAYABLE.
You're acting like what we saw is the entire game, and is everything that will be in said game.
You're complaining that milk, eggs, sugar, & flour don't look like the promised $500 wedding cake; this is NOT A FINISHED PRODUCT. WHAT WE SAW IS NOT WHAT BALDUR'S GATE 3 WILL LOOK LIKE, SO AT LEAST WAIT UNTIL THE BLOODY EARLY ACCESS COMES OUT.
I'm sorry to sound so snide about it but you're complaining about an UNFINISHED PRODUCT! 'This unpainted, untreated car frame does not look like the 1984 Ford T-Bird you promised me!'
Because. it's. Not. Finished. Hell, it's barely started, from a timeline perspective!
