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).
Irellevant ... The premise was that this game was advertised as something else than what was delivered in the end ... if someone as you says "won't buy the game becasuse it does not feel like a BG (or a DnD, or whatever you want) game" ... those people were obviously not fooled by this "evil cheating advertising" ... And therefore (quite logicaly i would say) cannot be part of amount of people who was.

Yeah, that might be true ... But once again, since there is no way to tell how many of them is just same people also active on other forums, just as you do ... its also irellevant. :-/ Unless you actualy found a forum where litteraly ten thousand different people were complaining about it, and even then you would only move by two decimal places closer to 1% while still being DEEEP below. :-/

That is the thing ... where did you get "many" ? I mean i totally understand that when your surrounding agree often, person totally can get the expression that presented opinion is accepted by the general public ...
Im just pointing out that this is just ilusion caused by the fact that your test group is: A) Too small to base any conclusions on it B) Interested in the topic and therefore not objective
Its just the same ilusion you get if you talk about politics with your friends ... You asked them all and nobody voted for "Candidate A" (to keep it as unspecific as possible) ... therefore you can easily get to conclusion that he can never win the votes ... Then later, when the votes are counted ... you find out that "Candidate A" have won with 80% votes. Why is that? Bcs your test group was not wide enough to be relevant ... if you are oriented to "Candidate B" (or vice versa) you with high probability will be talking with same oriented people, and therefore some "Candidate A" oriented person will be so rare in your surrounding you can easily get to conclusion that they dont even exist.
This topic is same story. Most people who come here, come here just to add +1 to complaining ... you can see that by the fact that not even everyone curently active on this forum expressed themselves. Therefore our group is too dedicated for our "Candidate A" (larian sucks, we want DnD) so we can easily get to conclusion that "Candidate B" (larian rocks, we want it as it is) dont even exists, or is so small to being irellevant. But that is just bcs we ignore all those millions of people who are not curently here to complain.

That is why i never (if you check this topic, you will see) expressed myself about how this game feels compared to them ... Only to general topics i had opinion to ... and i dont think that there was any condition telling us that those who didnt play previous games cant understand rules of statistics, or telling them to others here. :P
Back in June 2019 (if I'm not wrong) when this game has been announced it was only advertised as "BG3". Then it was advertised as a DnD video game. And guess what ? The only DnD video games that video games players could think of were the old BG games (and similar).
People had expectations and talked about BG3 before you came here in october when the early access begin.
And even after the beginning I'm sorry... But even a non-DnD player like me could understand that it doesn't mechanically look or feel like a DnD game, a DnD low level campaign or an old BG game at all. It was already awesome for the choices and what they call "permutations", for the races and classes tags and so on... but in exemples the rules implementation were terrible and it's obvious that BG3 does not have any references to the old games (visually, mechanicaly and so on...)
Just as your conclusions, your numbers or your intepretation of what "many" means, your exemples are irrelevant too but it doesn't matter at all. We don't have to play with words (not sure if it's an understandable expression in EN) I saw here, on youtube and on other forums a lot of players claiming that this game does not look like a BG game for various reasons - way more than those claiming that it looks like a BG game.
After 1+ year, such thread still have 5 pages in 36 hours. This mean that this is still something people have in mind even if you disagree or just don't understand what it means. You're not giving your opinion but you're giving an opinion on other's opinion. Your first answer was once again the stupid "it looks like nostalgia" argument. Which has always been irrelevant. Smile smile smile.
