Yes, I do find the doomsday prophecies very tiresome. Most people can already tell that this game will be a success. The question is how big is gonna be. And it deserves criticism of course, why it needs it, that's the point of the EA. But still, acting like BG3 won't be a successful entry for both Larian and DnD games, is just not realistic.
I'm not really doubting that it will work out and end up a half-decent game. But will it have anything whatsoever with the franchise that lends its name to it? .
the game has a main villain called the absolute, whose symbol contains a piece of each of the dead threes symbols, A skeleton who is most likely Jergal, and a ritual site that resembles a Myrkul incantation circle, is in the game. If you're worried about the game not having any connection to the previous games, I'd say you have nothing to worry about.
