Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Building a BG franchise on non-D&D game systems?

Not lying, I enjoyed DOS1 and to some degree DOS2..though Itemization destroyed my enjoyment of these games. It got boring very quickly, but the gameplay was still FUN. What Larian does, in that silly Divinity world it just WORKS.

My first reaction to Baldurs gate 3 was...uh, thats a lot like Divinity...THAT doesn't work.
2 years later my reaction to Baldurs gate 3 is the same.
So people saying <this is EA things will change> ; I say to them : No it clearly will not. Larian has decided to make a Baldur's gate + D&D frosting coated DOS 3 cinematic telltale RPG game.
Game budget and effort is all about the cinematics + pretty faces and nothing much else. And hey, 90% of non Baldur's gate fans will probably enjoy that so who cares what we think at that point.
