So I've been thinking about Baldur Gate 3 and starting to realize that Larian has a tough road to travel, due in a good part to my expectations.
Since this is D&D that I've been playing since chainmail, I have come to the game expecting it to behave in certain ways.
Since they are marketing it as D&D, that's what I want.
I want a game that is as true to the tabletop experience as possible.
Not everyone wants exactly what I want but Larian added these expectations of many people when they decided to make Baldur’s Gate 3.
If you use a franchise you should expect the fans of that franchise to be upset if you vary too much from the franchise.
Yes, all mediums are different and you have to adapt to what you are using to tell your version of a franchise but there is adapting and then there is making so many changes that you wonder why they are bothering to use the franchise at all and not just doing their own thing.
