Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General So who is the game ultimately trying to appeal to at this point?

I am an old school CRPG gamer. Baldur’s Gate is one of my favorite series of all time. From ages 11 to early 20-something I played through BG1 at least once a year (though in many ways BG2 was a pure evolution of the first, BG1 did a few things I appreciate quite a bit that BG2 doesn’t, and I only mention this to show what an absolute nerd I am).

I am a tabletop player. I DM, I paint mini’s, I build campaigns and puzzles and massive dumps of lore that I never even tell my players unless they happen to ask.

I am square, dead center in the key target demographic for this game, and I couldn’t be more excited.

Furthermore, the rings of intersecting demographics around me are great. Lots of people are old school D&D players with all sorts of interests. I don’t care about dating sims, sex scenes, or futanari, but that is some people’s jam, and that’s okay. Anything that gets people interested in D&D is a good thing. It’s a phenomenal game that builds friendships, real life connections, and helps people discover things about themselves they might not have otherwise realized. Everyone who respects others is welcome to join. The more the better.
