Derived from another thread about our biggest fears about the BG 3 release. BG 3 is too bombastic from the start. You are directly confronted with the strongest opponents (Mind Flayer, Dragons) and you can fight in the prologue against LVL 6 Cambions incl. a Commander as a LVL 1 party... If there should ever be a sequel, which big opponents and associated plot should there be left to top something like that? In the first two BG games or IWD you start in areas with very weak opponents. I fought some rats in BG 1 prologue... That was ok and I liked the "progression curve" for stronger opponents. So again. If there should be a BG 4 that is continued by BG 3, like BG 2 was once the continuation of BG 1. Since we have already fought the strongest DND monsters in BG 3, what storyline and new enemies should there be for a launch party with LVL 10-12?
Seen from this perspective. Larian may have botchet a good (direct) part 4 here because part 3 set the benchmark so high that a future sequel can't keep up. On the other hand, this confirms the trend towards a new setting, as has already been discussed here.
I agree with this. I don't hate the Baldur's Gate 3 story or journey. But if one thing really rubs me the wrong way about it is that there are parts that feel like Michael Bay is directing the game.
