I think Larian hit a home run for its modern fan base (casual RPG) or older people that don't mind having a salad bowl mix of everything in their RPGs.

I personaly like my RPGs SIMPLE, restricted, yet deep and more focused. Very much old style. I still play BG1/2 Planescape and old DOS games. There is a charm to the simplicity/restriction of the systems yet the storytelling and atmosphere is still great. The closest modern RPG in that kind of feel that I could of played is Disco Elysium.

BG3 isn't my cup of tea but I get it that people nowdays likes it.

It just reminded me of the bowl of goat's milk that old Winthrop used to put outside his door every evening for the dust demons. He said the dust demons could never resist goat's milk, and that they would always drink themselves into a stupor and then be too tired to enter his room..
