If, as with the change in the Fallout franchise, Larian were producing BG3 as a first-person, real-time, single-player RPG set in the Forgotten Realms with newly-developed mechanics, I would be looking forward to it with much greater anticipation. But that is not what BG3 is going to be.
Thank the Gods it's not that.
I was actually going to pin a troll thread announcing exactly this on April the 1st. I was told not to. *sulks*
