Interview Interview with Baldur's Gate 3 lead systems designer Nick Pechenin at Rock Paper Shotgun

I wonder how much having the BG3 deal is boosting their sales as curious BG and Forgotten Realms fans buy it to find out why every compares BG3 to DOS2.

Probably didn't see a difference at all due to this tbh, but it would be too hard to tell.
WotC is the one banking off of Larian's name, not the other way around. What was the last D&D-licensed video game that didn't sell like a hot turd? Neverwinter Nights? Maybe Dark Alliance(which released shortly after)?

They really did pick every shitty game developer they could find for Forgotten Realms video games, while keeping everyone with actual talent and ideas away from making a quality CRPG, after NWN2 was released.

Until Larian Studios and BG3.

 

[Jasede]

It really looks incredible...
Incredibly shit.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Nobody misses Bane anymore or Lord T or that slimy Moander.

 

[agris]

is truly the of our times

 

[Stokowski]

Yes, as far as I'm concerned, this is basically Fallout 3 all over again. Nightmare. So I'm just trying to stay away, best to just stay away, pretend it doesn't exist.

Looks like Dragon Age Inquisition.
Plays like Divinity Original Sin.
Smells like Fallout 3.

Bitching about the graphics is as Codexian as it gets.

Bitching about the graphics is as Codexian as it gets.

Everyone already knows that the gameplay will be a solid 10/10, what else is there to criticize?

 

[Luka-boy]

Hey at least Beamdog won't be getting any money this time

I'll await RPG Codex retrospective about this, 3 months after release.
