Reading the news about the choice of VA for Minsc prompted me to make this account to say this.
As a long-time fan of Baldur's Gate, who got the big cardboard edition way back in 1998 and literally wore out the physical discs... And a huge Minsc fan... This is the final straw. I had my skepticism regarding Larian, seeing as Divinity and Baldur's Gate a very different kinds of games, and so often it turns out really poorly when an entirely different team has to take on something old. But I still had faith and was cautiously excited for BG3.
But not even offering the role to Jim? And not telling us why? This immediately killed any and all potential interest in the game for me. I won't pick it up on the deepest of sales (and no, I won't pirate it either - won't be playing at all). It's a matter of pure principle.
At the very least I would like some sort of statement from Larian as to WHY they snobbed everyone's favorite character's VA. But nothing... Just "HEY! Here's this new guy! YAY"
Anyway... One might say something like "this isn't an airport, no need to announce your departure", but I am saying all of this so that at least Larian can not say they weren't told.
This really feels like a huge disrespect to the old games AND their fans. Oh, and to the man who voiced the biggest fan favorite.
