What gets me is the constant interjection from people who think that fans who are disappointed with the new game are just whinging.
Even in this thread, despite several posts of really good discussion there is always interjection about bullshit.
People have opinions, and you don't have to agree with them. That doesn't make your opinion better, or right.
The fact of the matter is that Swen Vincke already admitted that they are using the BG name to push DOS formula games. That is what the problem we have is. No one is saying "herp derp, no more bg games!" or "herp derp larian ruined my childhood" ... we are saying "Larian and Wizards sold out for cash". This game is literally a DOS clone being sold under the BG banner. That is the problem.
