I am really not interested in a new(er) studio trying to push their identity through a beloved established series.
Wich basicaly only means that you are not their target group ...
But this is inevidable ... every and any studio that would do BG-3/4/5/7951,5 ... will do it "their way" ... Hells, even studio that is the same but simply changed people meanwhile will do it "their way" ... look at differences between Diablo, Diablo II., Diablo III., and Diablo Imortal ... or take any two Fallouts ... To push it even bit futher ... even the same person few years later can easily do things differently, bcs he learned something meanwhile ... sadly the only example i think about here is VtM:Bloodlines and VtM:Bloodlines 2, where we know on both Brian Mitsoda was working, but 30min demo isnt exaclty perfect comparsion material. :-/
No matter what they would do there would allways be people complaining that "this dont feel enough like Baldur's Gate" ... and i mean ALLWAYS ... Luckily, it seems like Swen isnt trying to please everyone.
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!
