  • The Larian fans who love their games and simply want more great RPGs to play
  • DOS2 fans who expected DOS3
Also AAA rpg fans who want a great, modern rpg to play but haven’t played other Larian games before BG3.😊

I find it weird that there would people who would play BG3 but not DoS2 before considering how praised it was in mainstream media. Is this an Elden Ring situation where a new game in the genre gets an immense boost of popularity all of a sudden?
