I absolutely concur with you on this statement. Some of the DOS fans are starting to look like twisted contortionists unable to straighten out.


I completely agree with the above.


Things blatantly similar to DOS/DOS2:

3D World design / camera
Character creator
Origin stories
4 playable characters
Short list of companions. From 6 to 8 probably.
No time; no calendar, no day/night
Dialogue Tags
Cursors
UI
Inventory management
Character selection
Color palette
Barrel/grenades/no ammo...
Surfaces
Itemization
Menus
Trade system/windows
Wacky physics (jumps for example..)
Enemy HP bloat.
More wacky stuff from DOS I probably forgot to mention..


Things similar to Baldurs gate:

Top down view
DnD system
World of Faerun
aaaand....uuuh....Minsc??

New stuff:

Cinematic dialogues
Hardcore cringy sex scenes.



Come one everyone now, this is 2020. We are all supposed to LOVE the current game not criticize it. Game <names> don't mean anything anymore. Like movie remakes.
