I don't mind the new art direction but it sounds like they've done away with most of the actual exploration elements and roleplaying in favor of handholding. Maybe they were just aiming for a younger audience or something?

I think Baulder's Gate 3 has really ruined a lot of new RPGs for me. 🤷 Thanks a lot Larian for making a game so good it fucked up an entire genre.

The funny thing for me with CRPGs: DOS2 was the first one I played and I really liked it. Followed up again with BG 3 when that came out. Since then I’ve tried a bunch of other CRPGs and… I don’t think I actually like CRPGs. I just like Larian. The one exception is Disco Elysium, but that’s so far removed from most others of the genre because it has no combat.

Same haha. I played a ton of DOS and DOS2, then I tried Pillars of Eternity because pirates and couldn't get into it. Larian is really in tune with their audience.

PoE one was better IMO.

It was the lack of voice acting for me.

For me the lack of voice acting isn't a detriment. Far from it. I much prefer the walls of text to cinematic stuffs.

I can feel that. I just like being able to sit back and watch events happen.
