[quote=Warlocke]BG3 is certainly trying to be a CRPG in the big RPG box. Whether Larian will succeed or not remains to be seen, but the high sales in Early Access is quite promising.
This is it exactly. But where you see promise, I don't.
I don't see BG3 putting up numbers anywhere near TW3 or Skyrim or CP2077. Even matching DA:I numbers (about 10 million), which are on the low end of RPG sales, will be tough. I only see BG3 being the big (biggest?) fish in the small cRPG pond, and not a big (like TW3/Skyrim/CP2077) fish in the big RPG pond.
Well why dont go then play your The Witcher 3 then complaining here that you want to change this game to same?
Here is my side of things. I played the Witcher 2 bought it. Story was good, fighting good, but I could not stand the Sandbox elements they were a huge turn off for me.
I bought Skyrim for less then 10 euro and the only good thing with that game was for me community made content mod that made nude women.
I have tried other Elder Scrolls and it always end the same way I hate them for being this Sandbox with no fucking clue what you should do and then it all begin to feel generic go here and there.
Oh and for seeing in first person view instead of controlling outside. Besides World of Warcraft MMO that I played for roughly 3 years (it has very clear quests not a sandbox game) I played Neverwinter Nights MMO that is Dungeons Dragons (you can also control it in many camera modes and it has clear quests and not sandbox game) for more then 2 years until I got bored on it and to much TIME SINK.
MMO:s can be great I think but my main problem with them is that they often turn out to be TIME SINK.
We have waited so long for a game like Baldurs Gate 3 finally a Dungeons Dragons rules game with more or less same way that Baldurs Gate...
Now while not fan I am not hater of DOS2. I gladly take the engine and DOS2 graphics to Baldurs Gate 3. Yes I have been listening to you want to turn this game to game like Witcher 3, but I am telling you that would turn it of for me and many others. No I am not saying Witcher 3 has bad story, but at the end of day it is a Sandbox game which is huge turn off for me. Finally I am Dungeons Dragons fan. This game is Dungeons Dragons 5 more or less.
I have much higher expectations for this game then Witcher 3. Lol maybe I play witcher 3 when I get it for free or less then 5 euro.
At this moment yes Early Access is not perfect. Main things is that they fix the bugs add more content and more classes and the rest of Cleric Domains in Players Handbook for me.
Neverwinter MMO and WOW MMO both are not sandbox games.
There are 3 main reasons I do not buy Cyberpunk 2077 right now. A. System requirements are skyhigh if you want full graphics with ray tracing and very high resolution. I mean it like graphic card Nvidia 3080 or better. TOM'S HARDWARE "DON'T TRUST PROJEKT RED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS" System requirement are so high that Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X they have decided to lock at max 30fps at release. It may perhaps later get a patch that fixes it better for consoles. Oh and consoles do not get ray tracing or super graphics in your Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk 2077 Recommended PC: 4K Ultra Ray Tracing Core i7-4790 or Ryzen 3 3200G Nvidia RTX 3080 (or RTX 3090) 16GB RAM 10GB VRAM 70GB SSD storage Windows 10 64-bit Target: 4K Ultra
B. Right now expensive to buy that game and I am not so much fan of it. I am not saying it is bad game but I prefer to try it when I have much faster computer and when I can buy it cheaply.
C. Cyberpunk 2077 I strongly suspect it feels to much sandbox for me and I heard its questing system is a confusing mess the interface and you have no idea how difficult quests, what rewards or how long time they will take.
Finally Baldurs Gate 3 interest me more then any other game out there including Cyberpunk 2077.
