I knew from the footage that this was just DOS2 with some different rules, but they didn't even make the tiniest effort to make the game *feel* like Baldurs Gate.

The music, atmosphere, tone - nothing feels anything like the original series. It's "Divinity: Original Sin 2: Forgotten Realms" - that's it.

There aren't any soundtrack riffs that throwback to BG1/BG2, and even the story just starts out ridiculous by going with some of the zaniest fringe D&D lore (brains with legs, githyanki riding around on red dragons everywhere)

Baldurs Gate made you feel like you were part of a bigger, grounded world with fantasy elements.

I don't know what this game is. I just wish they had tried a little bit
