Fucking 80 interviews and not even a whisper on what the gameplay will look like. Is it action, turn based, or what exactly? Or did I miss something.

Like Infinitron said when he was asked about a potential Codex interview all off these earliest ones are pointless because you won't get shit out of Larian. They're just meant to build hype.

Only...they fail at it, correct? You build up hype by showing something/telling about something that actually builds it up: graphics; mechanics; story; characters from previous games etc. Here we get literally nothing.

And yet it's made hundreds of pages of discussion within a few days on the codex alone, never mind what places like reddit or other normie hangouts are like.

So to summarize the interviews:

- Why are you making Baldur's Gate game now, almost 20 years after the originals came out?
- It's great!

- So, how do you like working with D&D so far?
- We love it. That's why we changed everything.

- And, as far as gameplay goes, is it going to be more like original games, or your previous games like D:OS2, or perhaps something else?
- Yes.

- Thank you for your time.

All the "coverage" for this game so far has been almost comically pointless.
Literally not a single interview gave any useful information aside of what was already said in the initial press release that went out with the teaser.

A playable race, which I expect Swen will go out of his way to make available for the kind of deviants who liked roleplaying a lizard romancing a walking skeleton.

Overgrown pigeons.

Bird people are lame. So are Dragon people for that matter. What other race fagotry is in 5E to be on the lookout for?
