    It's funny how you think this poll matters. If this poll was on my blog, it'd have 10,000 votes.

    Here is one poll I put up:

    I put another up for NWN - NWN! - before the EE was announced. It had 800 votes in a couple of weeks.

    Indeed any poll is meaningless if there is somewhere another poll with more votes even if it's on a different subject

    New D&D Beyond video about Mind flayers, some bits about BG3 too:




    Somehow related:




    Also D&D Beyond has been posting a series of sample encounters that leads to Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus. If you're interested: https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/536-encounter-of-the-week-a-break-at-boareskyr-bridge

    I mean, the poll is meaningless because they have already decided (and most likely developed to a far extent) whatever system they are going to use before this was even announced.
    But that doesn't explain how your nonsensical comparison is supposed to be in any way relevant to the topic.

    Honestly, I could see them do both. TB/RTwP is always a 50/50 split among people, and other games have shown that having both isn't impossible. And with their budget, they might just do it.
    Or it will just be Diablo Forever like. A mobile game and we've all been had.

    The figures don't matter. The goal is to draw attention.

    That poll is irrelevant. That fact that you cite it says sums about your discerning "intellect" (and anyone else who has cited it). Want me to put a similar poll up on my blog and see how many votes it draws? I will crush your pathetic "strawpoll".

    It's hilarious to me that people ITT think they have any influence.

    You think a poll with a pathetic 1,500 votes has any bearing whatsoever on what decision Larian ultimately makes?

    You think a megathread with 200 shitpages is going to influence Larian?

    Delusional.

    Larian read commentators, not shitposters and shitpolls.

    You think they haven't already made their decision with the game being in development since summer 2017?

    You better believe it. Larian are "big-guns" now. They don't give a fuck what some 'Dexer says (or anyone on public forums, for that matter). Reality check required.

    :nocountryforshitposters:
    You could never know how retarded the devs might be.My most fabulously optimistic wish is,that the devs ignore both types of retards and just make the game they want to make. Sadly they listen to some retards in different places and end up adding something stupid in it.

    PS:There is absolutely no evidence that the blog you constantly post here is actually yours,post password or you are an imposter!

    Pretty much. It's that part of the month again - the part from the 1st to the last.

    Keeping within the mentality of the traditionalist here - when you call your game BG3 - you deserve everything you get from fans of the original IP. It would be like a black (that's racist right?) Chinese rap group singing like black guys and doing an ablum covering songs written, sung, and inspired by Creedance Clearwater Revival.

    Shit, typing that made me feel more perverted than looking at the illithid porn.

    I assume they would like to make a good game so it'll probably be turn-based

    Who cares about making a good game, they have sales quotas to hit.

    2 years in development, 300-strong dev team, and making good games is out of fashion.

    well, then they'll look at sales of dos2 vs poe2 and make it turn based
