I've seen Some people say Swen is like a cleric using a resurrect scroll on a long gone series. I would disagree. Swen is a necromancer, using his power to bring it back to life but in a disfigured and disgusting undead way.

Does anyone else feel that Larian is really bad with interacting with their community? Everyone is fighting and they just act like it isn't happening and deflect when asked about anything in an interview. This is the same thing they did before the showcase. Everyone wanted to know which way they were going and they just ignored it all. I feel like most other studios would release a tweet or a press release or some PR statement acknowledging it. They truly have become AAA developers.

Which questions they don't answer? People asked about direction- they clarified, people asked about story- they clarified, people asked about gameplay- they clarified, people asked about characters- they clarified. Ignoring bunch of retards asking "why no RTwP? Why u hate baldur's gate fans? Why this exists, I want different thing whaaa!?" Is not being disconnect from fans, it's ignoring haters/not feeding trolls- the only right move.

Larian studio has been making games for a really long time. Why don't they make a sequel to their own old games back when they were actually good, instead of another studios old games?

I feel like Larian sees all the old fans of the games as not part of their community and only cares about the community they got from their other games.

I am sure Swen is actually very hurt by the negative comments, so expect him to dry his tears with fistful of freshly printed 100 dollar bills, after BG3 releases.

This may not be what BG fans were expecting or hoping for, but Larian's fan base will buy it regardless, and Swen will be laughing all the way to the bank in the end.

The irony is that they make fun of PC-culture yet I have never seen a bigger group of oversensitive, whiny snowflakes running around screaming their lungs out against any changes that may threaten their precious nostalgia.

I have never cashed anyone a snowflake. I think it's important for people to be outraged and passionate. Companies and people need to be held accountable and rage is the best way to do that.

Except it's not shit. Quite the contrary. It being TB instead of RTwP doesn't make it shit, that's the unreasonable part. Among other claims. And before you say "that's the only thing you like about it!", no, we mentioned quite a lot of things that are definitely inclined.

Larian can make rtwp or TB and it will be a bad game. Bad company makes bad games

Pretty much. Can't expect too much from such developers though:

The worst aspects of D:OS1 and 2 are no longer present, i.e. the combat system, random items, and D:OS2's perplexing armor system. Yes, the writing is going to be irredeemable garbage, but BG wasn't a bastion of literature either, especially 2. What we have seen from the gameplay itself is definitely incline, I can't complain about anything when it comes to that, given the circumstances of an AAA game and D&D 5E. The SFX are another matter.
