> It is interesting to read this thread after so many complaining that Larian are not true to D&D or Baldur's Gate and have simply created another D:OS.
I've got the advantage of growing up entirely on computer RPGs and never playing anything tabletop so my vision is unmuddied by legacy dogmas. I'm looking at the game with a very simplistic view: the story side should be interesting, the combat should be fun (diverse, tactical, dynamic, visually and aurally pleasing). How that is reached doesn't matter, as long as the end result is good. If something can be done better than in D&D then it should. In the end, the absolute majority of the players are buying the game for story and fun, not for adhering to every letter of some other ruleset, especially one not designed for computer games.
> So, in short, Larian have largely replicated the rules and mechanics of D&D5 for this game, and any fault in those should be directed at the D&D5 system itself rather than the BG3 game developers.
I would be very surprised if Larian didn't want to make a better game and/or didn't have the legal freedom to do so.
Realistically I suspect they will limit resting somehow and can only hope that it won't be a pain in the ass and will feel seamless.
