Could not, Possibly, agree More with the OP. And, yes... there are MANY that want BG3 to be "BG2 in 3D" - Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2 were two of the Most Popular and Widely played video games EVER, are Still being played over 20 years after release, and are The singular reason THIS game is being created. The worlds were VAST, the party composition with damn near Infinite variability and there were so many different paths to explore that it was nearly impossible to keep track of. I have No interest in the simple plagiarism of the Baldur's Gate name just so Bobby can make a WOWIE ZOWIE AIN'T I KEWL!!! game that people will play only because they <think> they are buying a Baldur's Gate title. I don't care about Bobby's future prospects, at all, don't care if all his HEY NEATO!!! "special effects" help him pad his resume for future job surfing and have very little interest in financially supporting him while he "experiments". I haven't been 12 for a long time and neither have the Significant Majority of players that will consider buying this game.
