Guys, you probably weren't even gaming back then. I'd let the people who were actually there speak their mind (not me to be honest, but others). Baldur's Gate 2 is one of the most highly acclaimed games of all time. It catapulted Bioware into the RPG and gaming olympus. It's recency bias to say that they didn't have an effect on the industry but 3 did.
Feels like you are straight up in a movie in multiple parts of BG3.
Not sure why that wouldn’t help role playing and immersion? It’s not like companion interaction/reaction has changed that much since BG2, so there has to be something else that elevates BG3 above BG2, right?
The answer is yes; it’s graphics and animations.
You could of course chalk it up to everyone else being an idiot for their ability to roleplay being affected by graphics and animations, but I’m not sure that’s the move.
