The TechRadar article said they looked at Portugal for inspiration.
That's interesting to hear. Going by BG1 & 2 I always thought Faerun bore a strong resemblance to Northern Europe rather a Southern European feel. Incidentally do they realise that Portugal has nights too?
Northern Europe is certainly what I think of when I think CRPG. But happy to explore other climates. When I look at the other CRPG's in my collection, I cannot think of another that looks as good as BG3. To me at least. The work that has gone into even some of the very minor areas is fantastic.
