This new game is good. But it's not Baldur's Gate.


This argument has gotten pretty tired.
I swear, the only way to have fully satisfied a lot of the critics saying that "it's not Baldur's Gate" was to have just made this game a 3D version of that janky infinity engine.
I played the first two entries in the series when they were relevant too, and I'm extremely happy that they took a huge step forward and evolved the series.
Progress is good.

I don't want to fall to bits 'cos of excess existential thought.
