Would you prefer if the game was pixelated with a camera that we cant adjust, only zoom in and out?
Or if they pretend 20 years of worldbuilding dident happen in the forgotten realms?
Does the game need thaco for it to be baldurs gate game?
Does the game need 6 man parties?
Not all change is bad honestly and if prefer if they moved forward and wrote new stories rather then revisit baldurs gate 1 or 2. I love them. But I dont need another story like them...
Not at all. Pillars of Eternity moved forward and still was able to keep the spirit of a BG game. Felt very much like a spiritual successor. Just like Tides of Numenera was to Torment. It's not just the gameplay, or the system. It's the design, tools they use to deliver the story, the way characters are written. They don't need to ignore the new lore, but if The Witcher 3 was 100 years in the future, different gameplay, different characters, different tone, and different world design, was it still The Witcher 3? or was it a game in the Witcher universe? the fact that it's in the Forgotten Realms, or that we visit the city of Baldur's Gate doesn't make it a Baldur's Gate game. It's like saying that Alien vs Predator is actually Alien 5, because there's a xenomorph in it.
