Wtf I'm as hardcore a BG1+2 fan as could be ? I own the original CDs and I own the GoG version so I can easily play it on computers without CD drive (which is now most of my computers), too, as well.

And I love BG3.

Its in many ways even better than BG1+2, too. Like they may finally have a satisfying way to play evil. Something you could technically do in BG1+2, sure, but it was a PITA to keep your reputation in the tolerable range and it really wasnt that enjoyable compared to going all out goody two shoes.

And yes its not perfect, for example romances kind of suck, but well they havent been that great in BG2 either, so whatever.

Proposing a general rule that if you like BG1+2 you wont like BG3 is definitely completely absurd.
