Let's be honest - it's impossible to please everyone. Every time someone is trying to do something with "legends", just like Baldurs Gate, there always be 3 or more groups of people: The one who loves it, hates it, neutrals, and everyone between. It is a normal flow.
I was a huge fan of Fallout 1 and 2, when there was an announcement for Fallout 3 i was super excited - but then it turns out that this is 3rd person, no isometric view etc. It was not my pair of shoes. I didn't play any of this game to this day - not because I'm super mad about them - It's just not something I enjoy.
For me, Larian was a very good choice for BG3 - and I really enjoy it so far. Is it perfect? No. Is there a huge potential that this will be the game that I will play for the next couple of years? Yup.
It's really surprising for me that some of the people - who don't quite enjoy the game, generally don't enjoy it because of the title, and how much it's different than the imaginary BG3 - it's nothing wrong with it - I'm just surprised.
Back in the days, when I was a kid, I owned a collection edition of Baldurs Gate 2, and I was hoping for so many years for BG3, for me they nailed it - but for others, it could be a story like me vs fallouts series.
