If I had to reinvent/depict dragons, I'd have made their relationship to humans like the one humans have with animals in terms of brain power and overall superiority.

The intelligent dragon is already an old fantasy trope, mate.
Yes, but we don't ever see that in games. And it's not so much intelligence as incomprehensibility.

Half-dragons beg to differ :D

Divinity: Original Sin 3: Baldur's Gate.

At least mechanic wise, doesn't have the BS armor mechanics, BS cooldowns and etc
I don't doubt it will at least be better than "actual" BG games (or at least BG1) and quite possibly better than Larian's previous TB offerings.
Maybe they will also retain whatever they learn about not marring good mechanics with retarded crap (cooldowns, stupid armor system, massive stat inflation, item fever) in their next project, whatever that might be.

I don't think taht will be good as BG1. IMO will be far worst than BG1/BG2 but far

I was re watching the gameplay and is sure that they are fighting 3 intellect devourers as lv 1? They gave me a lot of trouble at lv 6 on NWN1. How much enemies will gonna be nerfed in this game?

Enemies don't have the same CR in D&D 5E as they had in 3.5E. We've been over this. These intellect devourers don't have their signature ability (devour intellect), that's why they are such a pushover. Why they would strip them of this is a mystery to me. Maybe they wanted the first enemies to be "weird" and "mind flayer-y", but it's kinda tasteless.

They could have called it "LESSER intellect devourers", or "baby" or anything. Pathfinder Kingmaker did it with Jabberwock
