What exactly is this game actually bringing to the table?

[DGX]

I see a massive hype starting to build up around this game. Hell, AAA studios apparently sh*tting themselves over this lol... Personally, I look at the screenshots, I look at the videos, I read the reviews and I CANNOT see ANYTHING slightly new, amazing or beautiful in any shape or form here. Where is it? What is it?

Unless you are a die hard D&D fan. This to me just looks like a Divinity 3 or just a nicer looking Baldur's Gate 2 really.

I've played both of those games and I enjoyed both for many many hours, but the year is 2023 brothers and sisters, and I will be totally honest, the characters in this game look like ass, they are actually ugly, meaning not visually appealing in the slightest and the graphics themselves while being hi-res and all, just look way to static and stiff, without any life shining through... The dialog scenes look like poorly shaded 4K puppets just standing there lifeless, no animations, no movement and absolutely no character (!).

We should be excited about games like Half Life Alyx, or TOTK building mechanics, etc.
Meaning INNOVATIVE stuff, not just prettier looking 50 year old games you know.

Just an opinion, but yea, I get really triggered when I see hype building around thin air.

And if you're the type of guy that spends 1000 hours in character creation, then maybe you should stop playing games and actually start making them from scratch instead.

Not to mention the "having sex with whatever you want" thing is so just cliche OMG

Same reason I haven't and will not touch Diablo 4, despite being top 20 hardcore wizard - TOOK THEM A WHOLE F*CKING DECADE TO RELEASE A SEQUEL, BUT NOTHING NEW

MAKE THE GAMES NEW AND EXCITING, stop releasing the same ♥♥♥♥ over and over again.

Please.

BG3 is gonna be the greatest game of all time. Until DOS 3 is made that is.

Got that right.

I played a lot games such as Baldurs Gate (1 & 2), Nerverwinter Nights (1 & 2), Pathfinder (King maker and WoR). And what I can tell about BG III is from the early access.

BG3 doesn't bring, in my opinion nothing new to table. However BGIII is doing, much better. something that has been done.

BG2 Shadows of Amn was released in a 4 Discs Box and it was really big for that time, the only game before BG2 that I could remember that have so much depth regarding the dialog, exploration, side quests and choices that you could make was Ultima VIII.

BGIII seem to be a better game than BGII, what is something really rare these days. Usually old sequels that are being resurrected are just a shallow version of what they were.

The early access just gave us the ACT 1 and I tried to explore it as much as I can and was Massive, the early access ACT 1 gives us more exploration and depth than a lot of so called RPG games out there, for example on Act 1 seems that you can advance to Act 2 through a path on the surface, however you can choose to advance through the Underworld. I was done on the surface and was expecting a few hours of gameplay in the Underworld, it was a completely new region almost the same size and seems it can be skipped if you choose so.

On many (Almost every) occasions the game gives you the option to attack the NPC and be done with it, don't need to be chatter. What can result on countless ripple effects through the campaign. The choices that you make through the campaign can have effects later on your journey, therefore you can play many campaigns to see different stories.

The character development follow the D&D rules, with some minor tweaks. Which means that the character development follows an experimented system that is being built since 1974, almost 50 years of development and improvement. Also must be pointed that the world, lore, combat is also based on D&D, therefore almost 50 years of development and improvement. And I'm really glad that Larian Studios didn't tried to be so innovative regarding that. It worked for 50 years and it is being improved for 50 years, why the hell should someone be so innovative regarding that? The system doesn't have 50 years only, its is being improved year after year.

Most of game that grab a huge brands such as D&D are crap, money grab. BGIII seems not to be, based only on the early access it definitely isn't . Larian used,from D&D, a 50 years of development and improvement system , invested a great deal of commitment and made a incredible game D&D and BG brand worthy.

He's not wrong tho. It's clear this guy doesn't own the game, therefore any opinion he has on it is invalid. He hasn't even played it. He's choosing to ignore valid reasons people give to him and focusing on people being aggressive. His opinion does not matter here.

Not fully enjoying a game = not owning a game.
Ok, I'll take note of this new one.

If you actually read, he states that people have saved him from buying the game. So yes. He does not own it. Good try tho.

Am I? Multiple people have made very sensible points and you've ignored them. Selective reading is a thing. You're only focusing on aggression.

No he is just talking to an average 12 year old who can't make up his own mind so he resorts to what you are doing currently.

Just to say he's playing later on. Which one is it?
I also jump the gun when people cry about not owning a game, because people like to forget GOG and Epic exist.

He's literally mentioned not buying the game. Has expressed his desire to not play it. Epic games and gog are irrelevant at that point.

OK so we got a 2nd sensible answer here. Thank you very much for your input.

I totally understand the 50 years legacy and why you wouldn't want that to be changed.

However, my question would then be - why not name it by what it really is???

Baldur's Gate Dungeons & Dragons 50th anniversary special edition or something.

It's not a lie tho. Note how you actually went back to read valid poibts other comments after I pointed out you only focusing on aggression. So good job on that.

[Zero McDol]

There is very little in this game that hasn't already been done before. If innovation is what you're looking for then this isn't the game for you. What this game does, it does very well, exceptionally well in fact.

For me, minus the whole bear thing, this is absolutely the kind of game that I'm interested in playing. It doesn't have to re-invent the wheel, but simply give me a fun experience to enjoy for a time.

So I guess to answer your question, nothing is new nor innovative in this game.

Maybe you should take a look at page 1...I gave you a short answer with an example there in post #6.
After that you might as well take another look at post #11
