Yes people have differing points of view I agree with the OP & thats Ok - but for anyone who loves D&D let them finish the game, let them take constructive feedback & work on it which they will do I'm sure.
BG 1&2 are held up in history as some of the best there's been no taking that away but they are 20 + something years old ...yes yes the legacy I get it but this is Larian's game & their vision.... - Larian have a huge amount riding on this game & its success.
Im not a Larian fanboy ive not played either of the DOS games - but im a gamer for 30+ years who loves D&D and I just want to see this game succeed so we get more D&D games in development.
