In contrast, BG3 feels like some Michael Bay, Guardians of the Galaxy fever dream with flying ships and planar races being the new normal, throwing away the entire vibe set by the first 2 games. A camp which may consist (thus far) of a Lich, owlbear cub, The legendary Volo, a vampire, a gith, a druid, several magical humans and a dog. It makes deciding whether to spend extra gold for a nice room at the Friendly Arm Inn seem like an entirely different setting.
Yep, the harsh truth.

Yep, it is just ridiculous. Such a poorly written character.

Yep, it feels more like Star Wars than Forgotten Realms.

As I said in another thread, I miss how the originals intertwined the plot with the political intricacies of the Sword Coast.
