I don’t think we are living in an era where everything that has already been done has been done better. I think video games are better than they ever have been.

Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 were my favorite games growing up. Divinity OS2 is my favorite RPG since then. Having them make a baby is a dream come true for me, and based on what I’ve played so far BG3 will probably be my new favorite game of all time. I’m sleeping great these days.

And despite the new SW trilogy being utter crap, the franchise isn’t any more damaged than the prequel trilogy being utter crap, too. That new Star Wars game did really well and Baby Yoda is a global phenomenon. I don’t think you are a very good adjudicator of success and failure.

Now what really doesn’t matter is you telling Larian what they can and can’t do. I’m not trying to be mean, but that’s a fact, because they are totally doing something you said that they can’t do. They are making this game their own, it’s probably going to sell better than the original games, so the baggage of purists is a non-factor.
