I love you guys. This was super fun. If this game turns out to be a success or whatever, it was fun all the same shitposting about this garbage ass game.

It's always been like that, and new rpg developers rise out of the ashes like a phoenix hawk mech
It would have to outperform Baldur's Gate 3, which seems impossible given the reviews and clips we've seen of the party HQ therapy sessions.
BG3 will set the trend of MASSIVE FUCKING INCLINE for the RPG genre, as Swen personally pulls the entire industry by its hair forward into the future. Turn based combat! Talmudic dice rolls for a damage rider which evokes a damage rider which evokes a damage rider 4+2+4+3+2+5+2 damage done! Is it correct or bugged? Nobody is intelligent enough to compute it and tell! Shadowheart type companion in every game! Light BDSM lesbian sex on a stone slab in Act I of every game! Cock sliders in character creation! Its not beastiality if its a shapeshifted druid! You can kill almost all NPCs and proceed with the plot! The bag that creates mold in the bag that doubles weight in the bag that does necrotic damage, fill it all with barrels and throw it at enemies! Fifty "Can you beat this game as a cat?" type videos, each with a million views!
This is the future of RPGs, not Veilguard's console gamepad action combat. Bioware's next game, if they are allowed to make another big RPG, will be like that.

Don't be delusional. I know this is hard for you but don't.
We (the KKK) have already agreed that devs will only learn the absolutely worst lessons from BG3.
Is it shit?

A game set in Telvinter could be really great. Imagine the conflict between Zealot Chantry VS a Pagan Misantropic Magocracy. Sadly will be Forspoken tier shit. You can't even use blood magic in this shit game. They replaced it with the worst necromancy in any game.
Tevinter has its own chantry which is run by mages. They haven't been pagans for millennia.
The worst lessons are assuming that character drama, unusual sex scenes and using voice actors prominently in marketing is why BG3 succeeded. Most of these already existed in previous Bioware games, or the Witcher games, and the voice actors for marketing stuff is basically a key part of animated movies.
I think designers will be able to convince investors that BG3 succeeded because of emergent gameplay interactions, such as not-necessarily-intended uses of terrain, skills, and items. Enough of the popular memes and videos are about stuff like that, so its visible and hard to miss.
