Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Which one of BG3, PoE, PK the worthy successor ?

Some of us are the previous gens. It's funny, I collect game boxes from when I was buying all these games. I have 3 copies of BG, 2 copies of BG 2, with one being a Collector's Edition. All my IWD boxes, multiples of NWN and NWN 2, NWN because I needed a copy for keeping a server running, and another to play on another computer. I didn't have to have my mom's permission to buy 'em either, I was in my 30s. Some of us feel the need to consume things we enjoy, no matter what some random on the internet thinks about it.

I'm sure the Witcher series is really good. I own all three, Enhanced Editions even, and multiple times, but I have never finished one of those games. Geralt is too dry a character for my tastes, but, CDPR does right by gamers, and so, I support them, to the point where I have already pre-ordered Cyberpunk 2077, and am now just waiting for the release date, so I can do any patching and downloading, and get busy playing. If everything goes right, maybe on my Series X, but if not, it'll be on my XBox 1, and I'll be kicking it in my recliner, trying out that new label. I've heard that Oblivion is really good too, but it's way to dry for my tastes. I did make it through Skyrim though. I'm not as impressed with it as some of my friends were, but, I did manage to finish it.

You see, despite all the "no true Scotsman" that you ran with earlier, people have different tastes. The fact that you had to resort to a fallacy to try to support whatever it is you're trying to support speaks volumes though. I can't say if I like or dislike BG 3 yet, I simply don't have enough of the game to make that determination. When I think about what I do have, I also have to consider that it's more or less in an Alpha state, and that it was presented as a "playable demo", so I could offer any relevant feedback, and maybe have a say in how it gets developed. This isn't my first rodeo with things like this. I was invited to participate in the Aion closed betas, and the closed beta for swtor. I declined swtor's offer, I like Star Wars ok, but I'm not one of it's biggest fans. I played Aion from the second closed beta until just after it went F2P, and my sub was active when that happened. I've played a wide variety of games, because I found them fun. I took them for what they were, instead of trying to make them what I thought they should be, and you'd be surprised how much fun you can have in a game when you do that.
