Exactly. Now you get where I'm coming from. Both are called the same thing, but they are two totally different games. You can't really mesh them. They both have different rules and balls and are completely different styles of games. You can't really kick an American football around a field. It is an oblong ball. Both are sports and both have the same name, but they are so very different. They both have a totally different feel and experience because they have totally different rules.
This is how I feel about D&D and bg3. They call bg3 D&D 5e, but it does not play like D&D 5e. There are too many rules that are different and too many elements that are not the same for it to be called D&D 5e. It feels and looks more like dos. So just like American football versus European football, so is D&D versus Baldur's Gate 3. You can call it D&D 5e all you want, but the rules are two different and the stats are too different and the creatures don't act like they're supposed to. Therefore, is it really D&D 5e, or is it just some fantasy game based on the Forgotten Realms world?
