Plenty of other games have multiple denominations-and it doesn't hurt the gameplay experience one iota.
It doesn't add anything to them either, I'm not going to get all bent out of shape if Larian add denominations but personally I'd prefer the development time going into more important aspects of the game. They only have so many people with so much time and I'd like to play the finished article sooner rather than later.
I disagree with you there. In the early days of WoW, gold actually had great value and was a huge part of the game progression. And like mrfuji3 mentioned, there has already been complaints about the abundance of loot and characters ending up with more gold than they know what to spend it on, and that as a lvl 4 in act 1 before even finishing the EA. With a better denomiation system where items would be more realistically valued the developers can give us players more tactical options. IE we can only afford one of two or three good items right now so we have to choose which one would give us the greatest benefit(or we just steal them all, putting emphasis on having a good rogue in the party).
Also, in the Witcher series(well, I've honestly only played the 3rd game) there are different currencies that needs to get exchanged at the bank. A minor side activity but one that reminds us that Geralt isn't just running around in crypts and forests, slaying monsters, he's actually traveling and finding work in several different states, all with different politcal agendas, cultures and yes, currencies. A huge improvement for immersion.
BG3 has the potential to become a great game and it better, with all the hype behind it. Because of that it's important to not skip on the small details. Sure, some will play the game just for the exploration and action. Others will play it for its story and rp possibilities.
And personally, I'd rather play the finished product when it's well-polished and near perfected than a product that was rushed.
