As someone who never played BG 1 or 2, I only know about the characters from watching let�s play, reading wiki and a few youtube videos.
However, it seems like WOTC (the shitheads at the top mostly) really likes messing with playerbase. The OGL fiasco and how customers are obstacle between top brass and their money come to mind.
I don�t know how much pull does WOTC have, but based on some of the things I saw in full release, more than they ought to.
Frankly enough, there really should have been a close beta for early backers with NDA attached to it. That way Larian could get some proper feedback, especially act 3.
Instead, we find out about the mess that is ACT 3 and all we can do is voice our opinions here.
So, here is mine. If you can't make a character work don�t shove them down our throats for nostalgia and especially don�t bring characters, so that you can point to them and tell: "Look Guys, it's X from BG 1 or 2!"
Personally I think
are fine.
However both
could be removed from the game without any issues and replaced with someone fresh or better written.
