Perhaps the most important thing though, is to remove the past tense dialogue options. That one is crucial.
From:
https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/fhk1u3/im_swen_vincke_creative_director_at_larian/fkbkrl2/"There’s several reasons we’re doing it this way. Of course there are story reasons but it also allows you to get closer to your character; their thoughts, their feelings and moments of introspection allowing you to truly understand their motivations. We’ve experimented with several styles when starting development but this was the one that at the end of the day stood out and we’re actually quite excited by what we can do with it. It turned out to be an excellent way of allowing players to tell their own story and role-play their character on a deeper level. I think it’s a wonderful tool for role-playing and story telling and when you’re playing it’s like you’re narrating your own adventure."
I’ve read all the AMA answers, and this one was easily the worst. It’s just gibberish. Makes no sense whatsoever.
Playing a story that constantly communicates to you that everything already happened removes a lot of engagement and immersion. If they stick with it, it might even be a deal breaker for me.
Interestingly enough this is an issue that to a large extent seem to unite old school BG fans and Larian fans over at Reddit.
