I'm warming up to this game. Although I'm not jumping on the early access train as I prefer to play finished products, I'm quite happy to see how the game is shaping up! It is starting to remind me of d&d. It is just very difficult to recreate that Baldur's gate "feeling."
I want to to say that it clearly looks like a great rpg and I'm very tempted to buy it when it done, but can they make me feel like I'm playing a sequel to the one of the best rpgs ever made? That one is going to be a fun thing to see.
It is not only the visual style, but music, storytelling, writing, gameplay stuff…heck the whole package. With baldur's gates I've often heard people say something like "Together they are greater than the sum of their parts." How does one even hope to recreate that magical feeling? I honestly don't know. I think they should use narrator before every new chapter like in the classic games. It felt like you were first reading a fantasy novel and then suddenly you were part of that fantasy novel!
That being said, Larian can't just copycat stuff. They will have to find out their own voice and make Baldur's gate 3 their's while respecting the roots of this series and staying true to d&d. Not an easy thing to pull off, but we can't expect any less.
