They got the licence, a good portion of the story happens in baldur's gate, and it follows the D&D ruleset.
This IS a bladur's gate game, and only someone completely delusional dosent see it. Grow up.
calling people delusional because they don't agree with you really brings out the maturity in your comment.
Weird way of defining "maturity" when you people are the ones demanding it be named something else because its not a carbon copy of the game you played in your childhood. Look at the logo, what do you read there? Anyone who is not delusional will see Baldur's gate III. Theres no argument here, they got the license and they CAN name the game Baldur's Gate III considering it DOES happen in the same part of that unniverse, grow up.
Not quite. It has d20 rolls if that's what you mean.
Its an adaptation of the D&D ruleset and you know it, at the very least a much more faithfull one than the older games managed to do due to technological limitations.
Have you played and finished BG1 and BG2? Did you like these games?
Yes Larian got the rights for the NAME and LORE but do you really feel the current game is a modern improvement of the older games? If you haven't played them, I humbly believe that you are mistaken...the game CURRENTLY feels like DOS2 (gameplay, UI, visuals, items, atmosphere etc...) with some Baldurs gate lore sprinkled in with D^D5th.
I'm hoping that Larian rectifies this, NOT JUST WITH THE STORY/LORE, but the feel of the game.
