+1 that it's a terrible idea to spoil major villains/story beats/anything that isn't encountered in the first ~hour of playing. Guess I'll just not watch anything put out by Larian for the next 6 months and be very selective in which forum threads I read...which seems like the opposite of what Larian presumably wants (to increase engagement and hype in BG3).
Almost every game that is every released does not limit its trailer content to the first hour of gameplay. That’s an absurd demand. Where do you guys come up with this stuff?
There's a scale between trailers that provide practically no information, just hype, to trailers that include brief and usually out-of-context clips of what's to come, and finally to trailers that explain too much. Imo, Larian's plan to reveal multiple antagonists through dedicated trailers and descriptive blurbs is too far to the right on that scale.
As others have said, details and intro cinematics for companion characters and/or early Act 1 NPCs would be preferable over providing information about later-game antagonists/ the game's general mystery. I'm ~
fine with the trailer about Ketheric, as it also adds to the mystery/gravitas of the game. But I think revealing details on the other 2 main antagonists will be a bit much...
