I intend to make the most out of my play-through and am confident that I can have a really fun play through. I am looking forward to launch.
That out of the way, I am with you after this title.
Larian absolutely Hijacked a great franchise and ruined it.
If they wanted to make a Horror RPG set in the Faerun Universe, then get the WOTC licensing and build your own lore from scratch.
Secondly, don't make false advertising.
"But I love the game!". I am sure you do, because the lore they outright stole is amazing and not their own brainchild (pun intended).
The big problem I have is all the fans of the franchise that are on the outside looking in, completely screwed over because the game wasn't made for them.
Then there are those like me that are feeling robbed thinking "this is NOTHING like a BG title".
Is it visually pleasing? It better be, this is 2023.
The acting is bang it out of the park, but the characters are B roll at best. Where are the great characters?
Who here wouldn't trade sex for feature X (like a day / night cycle)?.
Never before has a D&D developer NOT created and tested a proper engine that would support the D&D rule set BEFORE building a world.
I could keep going, but this post is too long already.
When Larian announced BG3 it was better than any kickstarter...CHA CHING! Instant pre-sales funding. Shameless money grab.
