For now, PoE 2 and Pathfinder feels more like BG than BG3 himself.


They do as those others are older in feel which is more like the source games.

It's like choosing conservatism or being progressive, one has charm, the other is fresh. So I dunno 20+ years later fresh isn't a bad choice. To me it seems BG3 is taking the genre into Dragon Age'ness.

How I feel is DnD and games like this are under-represented. We've seen this genre have a rebirth but it hasn't all been hits. To me that is telling me the formula still needs worked vs resting on laurels, taking more steps to modernize seems to be needed and a smart move. Not saying traditional iso crpgs shouldn't be made, but I'd really like a couple dev-houses to take on the challenge of modernism.

I still would like a first person realtime dungeon crawler sp/coop (not mmo) that attempts a sim-like experience of really walking through dungeons and doing battle. If you go back 30 years you would think that would have been a huge genre in our future cards, it never happened. So as we sit here with isometric, it isn't my choice of pov for venturing, but it is what we keep getting delivered. Since their engine is true 3d, they have the artists and they are making the camera more cinematic, let your hair down and let us run a more immersive pov venturing, keep modernizing areas as you go along.
