"BG2 felt so real because of 4 things:

1. Characters that act on their own motivations and desires.
2. Dead ends in empty rooms.
3. Having to face the consequences of your actions.
4. Being able to fail."

Quite true.

I feel Larian does not create immersive worlds, they build fun densely packed theme parks.


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..
