    I mean it is a tactful response, what else i she supposed to say? No one expects this game to be on the same level. I played both early access periods for these games and bg3 mogged it from the beginning although I still think it will be a good game

    Ngl I lost all respect for owlkeks the moment they mentioned Bg3. Worthless hacks who have no confidence in their own artistic vision. The Russian government can't kill their shitty studio soon enough though I'm glad that they've become pariahs in their own country.

    they are fricked and they know it.

    their games are overly stat focused and I assume Rogue Trader will be the same, no one enjoys casting 30 buffs before every encounter and having enemies with such moronicly high resistances that you can waste 3-4 turns before hitting them.

                one or two sets of party compositions works for the higher difficulty. all role playing aspects are gone and you are left to choose play the same garbage comps everyone else has already made and then proceed to roll dice. even if you guarantee 100% success or fail rates you're locked in on HOW to do it. it's not really depth, only the illusion of depth, and you're a braindead hamster monkey for conflating the two.

        Dreadwolf is gonna be an action combat RPG with a narrative driven story, i think it'll do fine since it'll effectively be BG3 except not turn based. with any luck, at least. the leaked footage looked pretty frickin' cool.

        It isn't even really doing that. It just isn't delusional about BG3's objective and undeniable success within the industry and genre that they too occupy.

        You genuinely don't need to like BG3. But acting like its success isn't real just makes you come across as insane.
        And recognizing that huge strides within niche genre like that can and often have positive effects for the genre as a whole. Is a sensible assessment that's more focused on their own prospects than it is on Larian.

          >huge strides within niche genre like that can and often have positive effects for the genre as a whole
          There are no "positive effects". Baldur's Slop is the most casual piece of shit "RPG" I've played in over a decade. It embodies everything that is cancerous to the genre:
          1. Lack of character building depth.
          2. lack of tactical depth.
          3. Lack of any kind of challenge.
          4. Fully voiced which means the dialogue trees could NEVER EVER be as expansive as they could've been with a partial voice-over, which, in turn, limits roleplaying depth.

          It's fricking casual slop for morons. Owlkeks can burn for sucking up to this trash.

            You don't need to like them, but they provide much desired capital.
            >Owlkeks can burn for sucking up to this trash.
            Again you're just being unreasonable. As stated. They didn't suck up to Larian. They were asked a question about Larian and just weren't in denial over how BG3 is extremely successful.

            As I said. You can think BG3 is dogshit. But thinking it isn't successful is delusional.

                Based on BG3 having NPCs more interesting than the player character, the whole game is less about your character and more about everyone else. It's actually sad. Again, movie game. The next game will push this dynamic even farther, soon you won't even generate your own character, you'll get to only pick from predefined Origin Characters because of muh voice acting budget.

                Well blank slate isn't particularly fun when the world cares more about the side characters. A good RPG is a blank slate but the world treats your decisions in the game like an origin, it's supposed to be a craft your own origin based on actions, not everyone reacting to your companions.

                The issue is not blank state, the issue is an absolute blank state without even basic foundation when all your companions are speshul dunnutsteel OCs with 20 pages of backstory and clearly the intended characters to play the game as. Gorion's Ward is a blank state character but it's not a problem because he has basic foundation - he spent his life in Candlekeep and then [game's story] happened, everything is covered in the prologue. In BG3, custom character is a uhhh... and he's in the middle of everything because uhhh... well, he's from Baldur's Gate, he gets to say that few times! But nobody there knows him. He doesn't know anyone either. Not even any relatives. He doesn't even have his own place to live despite being native. Backgrounds don't account for anything either. Absolute zero on all fronts.

    Is that not a correct and wise response? Owlcat isn't trying to compete with Larian in terms of dialogue autism, their games have always been crunch over fluff. BG3 is the first cRPG for most likely the majority of its playerbase, you go look at the ~300k it has on Steam and ~200k of those have probably never played Pathfinder or the original games or PST or anything else. Maybe Mass Effect or KotOR.

      Well obviously, only because they don't have the money

    The only thing anyone can take from BG3 success is that presentation is the king. Actual gameplay is secondary.

    The fact that Rogue Trader is full turn-based will be the game's saving grace. Moving away from RTWP will make Owlcat that much better at encounter design.

    extremely based of them to write such a humble, positive statement about BG3. that's the approach more devs should have taken instead of being like,
    >PLEASE DON'T HOLD US TO THIS STANDARD, IT'S TOO HARD FOR US IT'S UNFAIR WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

    they jumped on the warhammer bandwagon just as it fell off a cliff with the wider audience, and now d&d stuff is resurgent when they've abandoned pathfinder lol

    Owlcat knows that all BG3 did is prove that a game without excessive monetization that's just fun to play is what people want. They pretty much already follow that model so unlike most of the industry they're not quaking in their boots and trying to say it's actually bad or whatever.
