Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Should have given this to Obsidian

@ topgoon and the obsidian text (somehow quote doe not work plus its a wall of text)

Thank you, this is a very good analysis.
- Look like Obsidian and DnD 5E do fit, since both care more about balance than the IE games.
Though maybe this has nothing to do with obsidian and DnD 5E in particular but its simply that now devs and players have a different understanding on how a game should be, compared to 20 years ago.
Things may look more biased in this forum because this is BG3 so people expect it to be similar to BG1+2, even though 20 years have passed and the game uses a different rule set.

- I really love the old Obsidian games, and I really love this "subversion" stuff.
I think KotoR2 is the best Star Wars game and Kreia is one of the best NPC ever.
MotB is fantastic too and NV is the best 3D Fallout game.
I am also a fan of PST, Disco Elysium and Undertale.
Stop saving the world and try something new, interesting and crazy.

I admit we also need "normal" fantasy stories and tropes, if only in order to have something that can be subverted ;-)
