    I’m in the opposite group. I don’t care for Larian’s games (though I wish them the best) and I was very let down when they made the latest Baldur’s Gate.

      Not sure why you’re being down voted, it’s a reasonable opinion to have if you don’t like their games. I feel the same about the originals. I tried them and respect them a lot, but they’re just not for me.

        BG3 has insane fanboys who don’t accept any criticism of it. It makes it difficult to review games any more

          I think a fair few people have tied their identity to products so they feel like it’s a personal attack to not agree or not like something they like.

            The triumph of modern marketing. The company is my friend and the product is my child.

      Don’t think people should downvote you for this opinion, especially with you even being respectful about it.

      I had a good time with BG3 (though I’m less high on it than most people), but at the end of the day it’s clearly a Larian-game. If you didn’t like the Divinity series you probably won’t enjoy BG3, and if you had hoped for a BG 1&2 feel, you would probably be a bit let down.

        One thing I appreciate between BG3 and their Original Sin series is that the latter games felt like turn based Splatoon whereas the former has much less surface spam barrelmancy (though it is still present)
