Really, I get where you're coming from. It's your opinion and you are entitled to it.

But ultimately it is your opinion. We can argue until we die about this, but it is pointless.

You believe it is a BG game and many do not.

I, personally, am in between. It is great, but it could be SO much better IF they did more to make it a legit D&D world with legit D&D elements instead of what many of us feel is a simulated, looks like D&D illusion.

Heck, I've even made an argument about the similarities between BG and BG3, and I've shown where the major differences are coming from, which happen to be results of changes in editions over the years, as well as general changes to the setting.

As for arguing until we die, I'm just providing a counterpoint. A much needed counterpoint, in my opinion.

You say: "You believe it is a BG game and many do not."

In fairness: Many believe it is a BG game. See? It's not me against many. The "many" you refer to are actually a handful of folks here who regularly voice their same opinions on repeat. The many I refer to are die-hard fans out there buying the game, playing it, and having a blast.

That's why I believe a counterpoint is sorely needed. I find a lot of the typical complaints echoing about are rhetorical in nature, lacking roots in dialectic. Shaky subjectivity masked as fact behind walls of venom. These things need to be challenged, in my opinion. I would hate for someone from Larian to see these comments go unopposed and assume things that are actually working in the game need to be fixed, thus making the game worse over all, not to mention making it take longer to hit full release. That's why I believe a counterpoint is sorely needed.
