I do think calling BG3 a pure RPG is something of a mistake. What we have here is multiple game genres worked into one. BG3 includes:
-RPG
-DND CRPG (There's a difference with typical video game RPG)
-Immersive Sim
-Dating Sim
-Multiplayer Sandbox (In a very limited sense)
-Virtual Tabletop
-Cinematic Experience
-Point-and-click adventure

It's not a pure RPG. But that's what makes me excited to see what it actually is at the end of the day.

Remember the human (This is a forum for a video game):
