with a very few pretty good cRPGs...So BG3 seems like the second coming.
This to be a an honest and very on the mark assessment. There has been a level of starvation for CRRPG fans for some time. Devs have spent their time focusing on the Action Adventure style RPGs like Skyrim which leans heavily on better graphics over deeper game play. They also push ARPGs like Diablo that focus alot on the action and mechanics with the storyline as a minor side note. This does not make them bad games, this is just a VASTLY different play style from CRPGs.
Of late we have seen some effort for a comeback; Solasata, Pathfinder, Divinity, Pillars. These have all tried to scratch the CRPG itch and done a good job. However even DOS2 gave the impression of a B tier developer. With BG3 we are feeling like a real A tier effort has been put into the CRPG space and the fact it is wildly successful fills us with hope that this segment will not be delegated to the bottom of the development list any longer.
