It’s really sad but right now there is more truth to it than I wished.
Game is still EA though! But the fact that larian fell silent and not only evading all the critics but stoped communicating at all gives this opinions even credit đŸ˜¢
This is what I meant old balders gate game fans thinking that Larian wanted to make exactly the same game - that ship has long since sailed & there will be a reason why nobody has tried in the past 20 odd years because as i said earlier a true successor to BG1&2 would be amazing.
But what Larian are doing now is amazing too - I believe that the finished game may not be like BG 1&2 but will be deserving of their recognition in a new game for modern times -I truly hope someone does try for a true successor but the more I play BG enhanced edition the more I think Pillars of Eternity might be as close as we will get...hope im wrong about that ...
Well, Pillar of Eternity newest game is a commercial failure though, and the company has to rethink about if they would attempt another one. I'm more curious about the demand for these types of game in term of whether they could attempt a large triple AAA type of game, but smaller games like these would probably still come out if the dedicated fanbase is there. Old players have the nostalgic factor and they are used to and are fine with these mechanics, but I do think developers have to think how a new player would think when they pick up a game. I kinda understand it when I try to introduce an older game to a new friend or something, for one reason or another, they just couldn't get into it. I do hope for more CRPG games to succeed though since I quite enjoy it, but the mechanic/gameplay is a bit uncertain for me.
