BG3 is very much built on Larian’s sensibilities and design choices from DOS1 and 2. It’s a lot more polished and evolved, but it is clearly just as much a successor to those games as it is to BG.
Huge fan of the old games here and this sums up things pretty well imo. But no matter if fans consider it as a "true" successor or not, BG3 is a masterpiece no rpg lovers should miss.
There are many things I don't like or find wierd in BG3... but looking at the big picture this game offer an experience we have never seen before.
After 3 years of complaints / detailed feedback and suggestions A LOT of things are still far from being perfect (or even good) in my opinion... but I have to admit that BG3 will probably be the best RPG of the decade to me.
Now I really hope that Larian will focus on creating world that feels alive / "real" for their next games (unexpected encounters, day and night cycle, map design, less gamey fast travel system, coherence between the different layers). IMO that would lead their next games to "best rpg of all time".
