    I’ve played through Fallout 1 and 2 dozens of times.

    I have yet to finish Fallout 4 or Fallout: New Vegas.

    The sea change from “actual RPGs” to “shooters with occasional minor choices to make” enrages me.

    He wants a colorful amusement park RPG on rails that plays itself for him. He doesn’t want to be bogged down by silly things like gameplay mechanics, he wants to paint by numbers.

    I understand that there are plenty of reasons to dislike a game, ANY game, BG3 included, but how tf “has no right to exist” is supposed to be an argument? Based on what, according to whom, because what?

      Apparently Baldur’s Gate 3 never had a right to exist since Larian decided to make original sin 3 instead and now a true Baldur’s Gate 3 will never exist.

        I fail to see why the game is titled BG3, instead of BG: .

        BG series had concluded with ToB and an ending that was both satisfying and closed. There were no important loose ends worth pursuing afterwards. The game takes place in the same setting, same territory but that’s about that.

        I hope to see how it’s going to be, where the story takes the protagonist, though.

          One reviewer that played through that and BG 1&2 said there is a lot of connections to the previous games. So it may be a sequel in every sense.

          Char name’s saga is over. Well maybe… idk

            Carrying over a few story titbits makes it a sequel in every sense? Don’t you expect a game’s sequel to share gameplay characteristics? Baldur’s Gate 3 has a completely different story along with completely different gameplay - in what sense is it a sequel.

            If Larian are now incapable of making a game that isn’t original sin they should’ve refused to partner with wizards of the coats and put a “3” în the title, but neither of them seem to have any integrity.
