Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Please call this game what it is, DOS III

If anything I would count not being RTWP as a net improvement (a new BG with a decent turn-based combat rather than the half assed compromise that RTWP is was basically what I wished for since I played Temple of Elemental Evil for the first time).
Itemization also needs some refinement, but BG3 is already massively better tha DOS 1 and 2 on the loot front merely by ditching the horrendous randomized loot that characterized Larian's RPGs for years.

That said, improving the way the party controls (absolutely mandatory) and allowing for a larger party (greatly appreciated but less crucial) would both go a A LONG way to make this feel closer to the old Baldur's Gate games and a departure (where it matters) from the Original Sin series.
