They don't need your consent personally to create a sequal for the BG saga. They needed WotC's and they got the green light after their pitch with them. I am a fan of the original saga and I love what Larian has been creating so far. I don't want a slavish and uninspired clone of the old games. I want a rpg that could mean as much to a modern generation of players as the original saga meant back then. I want a pc experience that mirrors the joy of playing DnD with my mates. And so far it seems Larian will deliver that...
They don't need my consent at all, you're right about that. But this game is in early access presumably in part because we're supposed to play it and offer feedback, and if I, or others who feel the same, offer this feedback half a year after full launch then what's the point?
You say you're a fan of the original saga, fine, then tell me what this game has in common with those games? Same world, though interpreted very differently, but that's about it, isn't it? No, wait, there's also a tangent to the same story, except much later and from a radically different angle and not really about the main dude of the original saga.
What part of this game actually gives you Baldur's Gate vibes? Not just "not quite DOS" vibes, but actual honest Baldur's Gate vibes? Because I'm just not sure that I'm getting them at all. Which doesn't make this game "bad", but it does make it "not quite BG".
