Life goes on. RPG gaming goes on. BG3 is a beautifully made game for the newer gaming generation.

Having played through BG1 and BG2 as a teen, It is incredibly annoying that this game was named BG3, but what can you do?? Thats how things work now with old IPs. The name is just salad dressing.

BG3 will come and go. BG2 I believe we still be played LONG after the BG3 hype is over. You can MOD in so much more content than the cinematic heavy/locked BG3.
Testament on how timeless that game was. Too bad Larian could not give it more respect... but they did their best for a 2023 "older style" RPG game.

And I completely agree that I hope Larian do their own thing for the next game. I hate the way they treated the IP. The best description I could give is the game feels its DOS2 cosplaying AS the Baldur's Gate world in a D&D theme park. It feels way off and weird. Most people loved it. think But I blame that on over a decade on SHIT rpg games (with notable exceptions...) and the shift to Action Rpg.

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..
