Weird that it's called Baldur's Gate 3 when it has basically nothing to do with BG 1 and 2. If they really wanted to use the Baldur's Gate name for easy publicity they should've gone the Dark Alliance route and added a subtitle to set it apart. Now it just seems like a low effort, audience alienating cash grab. And really, they couldn't make a high tier epic level adventure for the God of Murder to go on? They had to pick up a tiny encounter in SoA and base an entire game on it? That's like writing The Lord of the Rings part 4 and making it all about Elfhelm's adventures.

You are way too negative. Maybe try the game first? They have a stellar track record (Divinity I & II) + you can just read the reviews considering the game is in early access for +2 years. And they did listen to player feedback.

This comment is wrong on so many levels it's hilarious.
