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.

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.

Yes.
Dude, almost 5 pages now, fucking shilling your shitty ass website.
Are you fucking done yet?
Who the fuck are you... ? Get the fuck out with this trash. You're not even remotely on the topic anymore.
Whoring for attention the most shameless way possible, fucking Jesus Christ.

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.

I wonder what kind of people play as an Aarakocra.

Dafug is
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.

They look like cool bird people to me
The pics I saw of them in the 2nd ed. Monster Manual were quite funny.

Aarakocra made an appearance in Gateway to the Savage Frontier.
Once again, anything contemplated for inclusion in Baldur's Gate, was already done in a Gold Box game.

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