When the message one is trying to convey is being (widely) misinterpreted, blaming the receiver is generally a bad idea.
That is exactly it ... its not widely. There was not even hundert people ... and even if there would, its like how much ... 0,000001% ?
No one will ever know how many people won't buy the game because "it does not feel like a BG game" (or a DnD game, or whatever you want).
But I saw a lot of people complaining on other forums I'm active on, especially at the beginning. Is that more or less than 0,000001% of players that will buy it ? How could we know ?
This debate won't change anything but the title of this thread is still something many people agree with... even if they like the game for other reasons (people like me, in exemple). I like BG3 a lot but I definitely think it was doable to create the same game with a better DnD/BG vibe. It's not because I like BG3 a lot that I'm convinced by "Larian's vision" or by a lot of core design choices they made.
But how could you understand ? You never played BG1 and 2 (smile because you love them)
