playing a very semantic game to avoid the the point of the comparison.
BG3 irrefutably LOOKS like DOS. No one would look at footage of BG 3 and think "oh hey, an new BG game!" if it wasn't pre-labelled. You know that was my point, but you choose instead to pick at semantics.
- character and environment models have the same proportions - environmental interactivity is 100% carry over from DOS - lighting and tone are the same as DOS - they took GREAT lengths to hide the D&D mechanics so that you have combat that looks like DOS - they are making just as many changes to core 5e as Bioware did back with 2e - so it's not even the "faithful" D&D game that people think it will be.
You also have Swen Vincke on video saying that he thinks BG name has wider reach than Divinity so he think it will be a good way to bring people to Larian-style RPGs.
There never was and there never will be an intent by Larian to make this game anything like Baldur's Gate that people are familiar with.
