1. Nothing to do with OG storyline (I could be wrong, haven't finished yet)

2. Menus and interface are not like BG at all.

3. 4 man party instead of 6

4. No map traveling with possible random encounters

5. Go to Camp feature. What happened to camping where you are (possible encounter) or buying an Inn bed?

6. Have yet to visit an actual town

7. Where in Faerun are we?

8. New combat system, not necessarily bad but, not like BG.

9. Can't set formation for party.

10, No day / night cycle.

I feel like we've been given the bait and switch, Last Jedi treatment. I remember the Devs saying how honored they were to be granted the BG IP then, just made Divinity 3 anyway.


1.There are a lot of hints that says otherwise.

2.Ui and interface are indeed not like BG and while i do believe the UI needs a major rework the old Bg Ui was not so different or optimal.

3.Baldur's gate 3 is based on the 5th edition and the 5th edition is tailored for group of four adventurers.

4.I do believe there is map traveling when you reach some points you will see an old style map just like bg1 and 2 as for random encounters we don't know.

5.Camp feature is there ues as for buying an inn bed? Maybe it will be possible? In the early access there are not inns.

6.Yes we have yet to visit an actual town

7.Between Elturel and Baldur's gate along the river it is hinted several times.

8. Again 5th edition with a series of custom rules. The old baldur's gate were using the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons a dated edition that were still using ThacO. It is still D&D.

9.Again early access.

10. Yeah that feature is missing and is a shame is the only thing i really don't agree on.

But your whole argument can be debunked easily the combat is like that because they are using 5th edition. There are many things i don't agree upon like the power of the elemental surface and the presence of carefully placed explosive barrels but again. The game is in early access.
