Wow, thank you all for the feedback.
So do you think it's possible to love BG3, if you haven't loved D:OS 1+2, even if it's so similar?
Is the combat also just about the elements (fire, poison, etc.) or are we getting also spells, that were in the old BG games?
After I played Bg3 I couldn't play DOS1 or 2 anymore because BG3 is so much better.
However, and I am sure you know this - quite a few characters are coming back from Bg1 and possibly quite a bit more that you may not know about.
It's quite possible we may see a certain
arrogant red Wizard from Thay in Baldur's Gate.
Have you tried playing Bg1 and 2 recently?
