omg i want to play this so bad -.-*

Yea, and thats just icing on the cake on whats already there and to come...They could call it BG3 : Wrath of the righteous and people would be incredibly excited. It actually feels like a natural progression of the prior games. You can tell the developers are big fans of the original Black isle games smile.
If Larian does not go FULL ON D^D 5th tactical depth + rated R gritty Baldurs gate atmosphere then they are screwed. DOS2 game system, pretty faces and cinematics, corny sex scenes, and <a few good unlikable companions> will not save BG3 in the long run. They are trying to market this to WAY TOO MANY people and systems before actually designing a great RPG PC game.

Was it not obvious from the start, I mean I already saw this when I was introduced to the ''totally not dorian pavus'', sassy vampire character of Astarion who seemed to be just created to bring over all of the Bioware/Inquisition fans desperate for another DAI type experience in Bioware's decline. And that worked as i've seen tons of articles from the bio fans making those comparisons, i've seen a lot of the artist making fanart for the character say things like ''I don't know what BG3 is but I love astarion'', ''I never played this game but I love vampire sass'' lmao. My fear is that, as someone else posted on the subreddit, they'll focus too much on catering to these ''new fans'' posting on their social medias, and forget to make the game they initially set out to make.
