I loved the trailer! Showed it to my husband too... and we agreed that it's probably going to be some 6.5 rated fantasy flick that's way too predictable but we'll still be watching it cause it sounds fun (and well, it's designed to appeal to a certain fanbase and we're in that fanbase XD; I liked the druid/owlbear, he liked the mimic... we were both a bit
ugh! about the bard, but that's nothing new haha)
I don't think it will link to BG3 (or we won't realize the link's there):
1. You can't make gameplay gags until a game's out and the exploits/weird mechanics become well known;
2. You can't make plot connections because of spoilers;
3. It's set in a different location/a few different locations. None of them appear in any of the datamined info (act2,3);
4. We don't know all the main players (villains, allied NPCs & companions) in BG3. (
They could add smth and it would only become clear in hindsight.)
Could they prove me wrong? Sure. And that would be fun too.
