I very much hope this individual turns out to be correct, and that other RPG developers don't try to copy BG3. Since BG3 is a piss-poor game to me, the last thing I want is for BG3 clones to start popping up.
And to be clear, what I want in an RPG is very much great writing, deep and immersive story, strong character development, branching dialog, extensive character customization and reactivity, etc. But I reject the notion that we're getting any of this from BG3 in a truly meaningful and non-superficial way.
Okay, so great writing, immersive story, and character development are largely subjective. But how many major games in the last decade, or decade and a half, have given or promised you branching dialogue, character customization, and reactivity on par with what we've gotten or been promised/shown in BG3? I can think of 1, MAYBE 2.
Dude, don’t bother. Kanisatha doesn’t like BG3, doesn’t want to like BG3, and has been hanging around here for 3 years making sure everybody knows it. It’s fine, just let it be.
While I know the majority of people on this forum disagree with Kanisatha, I think the idea that people just have different preferences encourages me to grant the benefit of the doubt and see what can be enjoyed on the other side of my own opinion.
