Still, even this build of BG3 shows glimpses of greatness that DOS couldn't even dream about (mostly because of questionable decisions Larian made in the past and they are correcting only now, rather than for merits of D&D 5E).

I really wish Larian had announced D:OS 3 before launching BG3 Early Access. It seems like a lot of starved hardcore Divinity fans with no love for the old Infinity Engine duology are asking for this game to be a serviceable spiritual successor to Divinity, or just a fresh cRPG experience altogether. It's Baldur's Gate 3, though. This should be a worthy successor to the series, and the old games are so famous and beloved in part because of the tight, faithful transposition of tabletop mechanics into a digital environment. Being able to play a campaign without your friends is what engendered so many people to the series to begin with, to leave that behind and call it Baldur's Gate 3 seems a bit silly.

I worry that this game will end up a nightmare child of 5E and Divinity with Larian trying to appease their core fans and the core fans of the original duology.
