But the true reason of this writing of mine is... has anyone realised that the beginning of BG3 and the beginning of DOS2 are practically the same? In DOS2 ok, you get an intro (but maybe we'll get it as well in BG3) and then you are a stranded shipwrecked. In BG3 ... you are a stranded nautiloid-wrecked ... I mean wait ... a company with offices in strategic parts of the globe so that they can have 24h uptime, with a developed franchise and so on and so forth ... could really not come up with a more original story? A more original beginning?
There seem to be some similarities, yes. Though I can think of quite a few RPGs that start with a shipreck - KOTOR2, PoE2, Risen, Arcanum, I am probably missing something. It's a bit of a trope by now I suppose? And a fairly irrelevant in itself. Baldur's Gate embraced tropes - how it's done is more important, then what exactly it is. And as it seems we will be escaping from capture, rather then getting attacked does somewhat change the flow of D:OS2.
