I think people are missing a HUGE point about BG3.
Larian is not doing "their" game. They're doing BG3.
They could have done something else like "a Tale from Faerun" or "Illithids vs Gith" or "Tadpole's love"
But no, they decided, they choose to do "BG3".
So they are ot doing just "their" game.
They are doing a game inspired and call himself/align himself with/ use [sb]'s name/ BG3.

So they have obligation/duty.

Of course it's "just" moral obligation. They can shit on everyone faces and do "their" game.

But if they want to meet the expectations coming with their choice of doing "BG3" and not another game in the forgotten realm, they can't say : "well if you like that game so much why don't you go play that and leave us to do our game the way we want it."

They have to listen the feedback and take a really closer look to the other games the players refers to.



I'm all for preserving the legacy of any substantial series, but the obligation here feels really heavy-handed.
Both the gaming landscape and D&D have changed a lot over the past 20 years.
This expectation that everything needs to be as important as your nostalgia is making it out to be is silly.
From what I've seen, they have respected the series and are executing those core thematic elements successfully.
I think that at least half of the criticisms and "feedback" present on these forums only exist because of the impossible standards designated by everyone's memory.

I don't want to fall to bits 'cos of excess existential thought.
