It is a Larian adventure game set in the Forgotten Realms universe.


Just like many other cRPGs before that did not use pure D&D rules.
My initial expectations were screwed when I saw WotC backing it directly and working closely with Larian I was told. In practice, they have carte blanche; fair enough.

I'll just roll with it, enjoy it for what it is, and not bother commentating in a way that hopes for a closer 5e implementation (i.e. commentating instead on what it is within the confines of its own ruleset).

This sort of consumer apathy is why games get made the way BG3 is being made, with very little concern for directed commentary or feedback and more focus on feelings and impressions - Saito's point about "fun" and "boring" front and centre.
