I liked that movie. Saw it in the cinema and also bought it on blu-Ray. It may feel like D&D, but it has a wholly different tone to BG1+2. I mean, they have cast Hugh Grant as the Big Bad! It's absolutely hilarious, but it's a tonally completely different thing all around. The movie is a lot about laughs in general... and people even compared it to Guardians Of The Galaxy.

BG1+2 have a lot of goofy stuff going on in between. For most of that, you don't even need to look for it. It finds you and follows you and barely lets go of goofing around (Noober anyone?) But ToB included, it's still very obviously the story about
the offspring of the God Of Goddamn Murder battling it all out who may eventually succeed him -- with BG2 as the "distraction" from the main arc being about a dude not shy about killing and torturing people to get what he wants also.

Hugh Grant as Irenicus or Sarevok and Firkraag Ye Mighty Dragon being overweight to play it all for laughs? Probably not. laugh
It might be different tonally, but when i see it I feel that the creators liked D&D/FR, accepted all its quirks and rolled with them, even though they also change things around like how time stop works. The same happens when I played BG1 and 2.

I do not get the feeling when playing BG3.
