You can bet your steam account that we would not have all these same high ratings if it weren't for the cinematic dialogues, romances/sex/bears. It's overshadowing anything D&D or gameplay related...for now. Because without these people start being more critical on the actual gameplay system and world immersion.

The game could of been 100% DOS game system, it would of had the same ratings. Maybe even better.
That Larian understood that from the get go makes it an incredible bitter sweet success story (for D&D and Baldur's Gate fans).

What is extremely sad to me right now is we actually have MORE mods that makes the game like DOS2 (stuff like regain magic after combat, unlimited this and that, more spell slots, more feats, more attribute points, increased carry weight, more items ...) rather than like D&D.

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..
