…anyone who says this game isn’t d&d hasn’t played d&d
I play a lot of D&D; I've played a lot of D&D video games too. BG3 does not feel like playing a D&D game
to me, at the moment,
especially not a 5e D&d game, which, considering they advertised themselves as wanting to be the definitive game representing 5e in video games... is a rather shockingly abject failure so far. A game company with far less money to throw at their game has already made a game that captures that feeling infinitely better. Larian should be beating them in the story-telling and characterisation front, since that other games falls down there... and yet, the forced-characterisation that they plaster over your character at every turn, taking the roleplay out of your hands and not giving you the freedom to define yourself, because they've *Already Decided* what sort of character "you" are, and make your character act that way on the regular... no, they've failed, as it stands, and failed badly, unless it changes.
