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 ...
I'd say Pathfinder:Kingmaker is actually as close as we'll get to a spiritual successor. PoE is amazing in its own right, but its setting and themes are way, uh, "muddier" than the OGs. Not exactly darker, just more down to earth. P:K fits the bill pretty well.
