There is this theory that reality isnt real but a construct of each individuals mind. I dont know how true that is but this thread would be a good example as evidence for that.
I cannot understand how people disagree when people say "BG3 looks like DOS2" when it so clearly does.
What I cannot understand why there seems to be a binary subject. If we make a line between BG1&2 and D:OS2 BG3 will sit somewhere in the middle. Where exactly I can't tell you right now. It runs on Larian's engine, and it is a Larian RPG. It also uses DnD 5e, and is set in DnD universe. There are also quite a few things which definitely weren't in D:OSs. There are quite a few things which were.
While it might not be what BG1&2 would like to see, it is also unlikely to look like D:OS3 to D:OS2 fans. BG3, for better or worse, is BG3.
I would love to not take an issue with this but my main problem is that DOS2 (and BG3) has visual noise and lightning that I find extremly unpleasant, so much so that I to this day am unsure if I will even buy the game. So the issue isnt so much that "BG3 looks like DOS2" but rather that I cant stand what DOS2 looks like. An example I could bring up was the radical jump from Fallout 2 to 3. They completly altered the franchise (which they didnt have to) but I think that Fallout 3 is a pretty good game
