DOS2 game system, pretty faces and cinematics, corny sex scenes, and <a few good unlikable companions> will not save BG3 in the long run.
I mean, just the "4 person-party, 8 companions, inability to reform party with other companions past prologue" bit alone is already a big letdown. It somewhat works in the DOS games because those games have poor party interaction anyway, are class-less and alignment-less, you can learn anything, use anything, be anything, and you also got a magic mirror that lets you respec your characters at no cost. And, well, those games are Larian's own thing, so whatever.

The DOS fans, Larian fans, the old BG game fans, the TT D&D crowd, RPG-in-general fans, PC players, console players, singleplayer players, multiplayer players, people who only like to DM. Yep that does sound like way too many people. They saw a chance to make the big buck and they took it. "Let's throw out a full-price EA and when we get the money we'll figure something out". They're in way over their head.
I've been thinking I'll give P:K another try on normal difficulty, see how it goes. The hope is that I'll find it decent now so I can get on board the P:WotR ship.
