Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Game is ok

I actually agree and feel that DAO was superior, and still the closest modern game that was similar to BG1&2.

But you need to remember that LArian have to work with what WOTC allow for D&D licensing, and as such it has to be based on the latest rule set which is going to differ a lot from other games including its predecessors.
