Larian’s Baldur’s Gate 3 is poised to be one of the biggest cinematic role-playing games in years & many devs are criticizing the scale/scope of it!
Interesting video describing various developers’ take on the game. Is it a genre-defining game or not?
I mean…this part is certainly a lot of it. Very few RPGs allow you to combine systems the way that Larian’s games do, in a way that approximates a tabletop setting’s creativity.
I love how universal it all is.
The element system has always been something so simple but they do so well.
Imagine seeing fire and putting water on it, and it actually puts out the fire. Ground breaking.
Not to mention the physics engine, fire over there? Push someone into it, distance is based on your strength, whouda thunk!
Oh yeah defenstrating unsuspecting enemies is my most powerful weapon.
