I doubt its going to be that big of an impact. Even the games that have a direct focus on creating the different outcomes and branches of the storyline, depending on the player choices, just don't have a budget to make the major changes in plot. Its probably going to be just a upgraded version of the original sin 2, where you can bend the story, but most of the things will fundamentally stay the same. I guess that kind of subjective, but I didn't feel like replaying it, because I already played the way I wanted, and the second playthrough just going to be the same thing, but with the different props, where I'm not a mage but a necromancer, and not saving people, that I've saved, but killing them instead
Nope, this will not just be an upgraded DOS2 but vastly far beyond DOS2 by millions of miles. In BG3 your actions will most likely lead you to one ending or a limited choice of a couple endings and if you want others you'll have to play very differently, make different choices, etc. while in DOS2 you'd reach the end and just choose an ending where the majority were available. DOS2 also annoyed me in two ways: 1) best ending = you die...entirely pointless generic ending, another one you become like a soulless zombie or something, and 2) there was no satisfying evil victory ending...you just release the big bad and everyone's screwed but honestly bland and boring. None of those endings felt satisfying in any way or were memorable. That selection of endings just ended the game on a sour note for me. But that's not what's going on here in BG3 at all...the endings are far more satisfying and memorable...like an evil ending where you become the ruler of the forgotten realms...far far better stuff all around.
