However, I do agree that the D:OS influence could be toned down a little bit.

As for the OP: just no. I want a proper D&D implementation with TB combat, not RtwP.


I wasn't being completely serious with the above, though I must say I actually share some "BG fan" sentiment. Wouldn't say I'm unhappy per se, rather somewhat worried about BG identity being lost in the argument of "D:OS vs D&D".

And RTwP for me. wink I don't expect it, but it would be amazing in a Definitive Edition or the like.

Divinity fans are unhappy about D&D aspects in a... D&D game? This seems to be the most confusing thing here.


I agree it's confusing, but this is what I've seen on the forum. I guess it's because the playerbase largely recruits from Divinity fans, so they'll naturally compare BG3 to Larian's previous games, particularly OS1/2.
