I valued Larian very highly after DOS2 because i felt it was a good game. It was a simple, easy to understand cRPG which got the genre out of it's niche. After playing DOS1, it was refreshing to see most issues resolved and the game being actually fun.
But Baldur's Gate 3 deserved so much more than being an enhanced version of DOS. I don't think the feel of the game is ever gonnna change up until release. There's too much core features of BG1 & 2 that are simply not there. There's too much of DOS in this game, and while it will be a good game, a great one even, it is just not Baldur's Gate 3 to me. The fact that Larian either failed to understand that or knew it and didn't care cause they have sales to make is really disappointing.
And yes, Pillars of Eternity experience is way closer to BG1 & 2 than BG3 ever will.
Just why did you have to name this game Baldur's Gate 3 ? It makes no sense other than disappointing people. People that didn't play BG1 & 2 won't care that it's a baldur's gate game, they will get the game because its Larian and they liked DOS2. DOS2 sold extremely well so it's not like Larian needed the branding to sell the game. It just disappointing for BG1 & 2 fans because most of them will feel the franchise they love got hijacked and turned into something else for no reason.
