Honestly DOS2's saving grace was its co-op. Not giving a damn about the story and making up your own along the way (me and my friend blasting the universe in a mad quest for power) was a great experience despite the lack or outright absence of a narrative. I of course hope that Larian does not take this approach with BGIII, but we have no idea what the hook of the story is beyond Act 1. The only thing we need is a stretch goal like a quest to beat other True Souls to becoming the Absolute's champion.

Then again, the end of the current intro already totally ruins this by doing over DOS2's intro, lol. Saved by God because you are great, go you.

Must have missed something? Where are you saved by a god in bg3?

When making comparisons you need to be careful not to make it too shallow or too deep. If it's too deep nothing is the same but make it two shallow and everything is the same.

I can say that Baldur's Gate 2 and Call of duty black ops are the same since both are video games but that would be a shallow comparison, therefore bad. But equally bad is to say there is nothing similar between dragon age origins and Baldur's Gate because in one of them there are gnomes and in the other there isn't.

"74.85% of you stood with the Tieflings, and 25.15% of you sided with Minthara. Good outweighs evil, it seems."
