Wow. I read the starting post. I've read about 90% of this entire thread. Now evaluate how difficult it was: English is not my native language.
What is it, Wendy`s, by the way?
I think that a good game BG3 should have been called something else - and would not have lost anything from it. There would be no Jaikhera, Minsk?, Sarevok (I may accidentally spell the names incorrectly, because it's not obvious by ear) in it - and it would be great. One could say "coincidences are random"
Who would be upset with this option? Marketers? Because they would have missed the opportunity to play the brand. But the brand was popular too many years ago.
Fans of books? There are not so many fans today. Sorry, guys. There are too few of you.
I'm not a fan of the world of Faerun. But I've read The Silmarillion. And there is no need to make a Silmarillion game, because there are enough boring games.
It's enough that there is The Eve online in the world.
To understand what is happening in the game, I have previously read several brief descriptions that have been abominably translated into Russian. More or less understood. I would not like to see a game that I need to read three dozen books to understand (not the fact that they are all translated into Russian). Arguing about whether Drow are elves? Let's first decide if Pluto is a planet. Or whether the light is a wave or a particle. In order for the character in the game to understand me correctly, I put the knowledge of history -1 and magic -1.
Forgot to add: anyone who thinks that BG2 is better than Fallout is overconfident
