Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Lack of Forgotten Realms Ambiance / Depth

Maybe not fair to compare BG3 to BG2 since BG2 starts in the middle of the story. Maybe BG1 would be more appropriate.


And what do we have in Act 1 of BG1? Investigating an iron shortage. Kobold in a mine. Bandits. Some monsters. Some mysterious dreams. Fairly basic stuff and similar to what we have in BG3 Act 1.

Part of what made BG series great was building from that basic DnD starting adventure module in BG1 Act 1 to the super epic stuff in BG2/ToB.

Let's give it time. Right now we only have Act 1 to judge.
