Baldur's Gate 3 is the kind of visionary experience that only comes around once in a decade, and will undoubtedly shape the future of games for years to come.
I think bg3 is also a lot easier to get into than dos 1 and 2. Having actual cut scenes and voice acting for everything goes a long way in making the game immersive. I also feel its easier to get into the combat (though that may just be me having got used to dos beforehand)
Well DOS2 came out 6 years ago, so hardly once in a decade.
6 years ago was a different decade.
What’s DOS2?
Divinity original sin 2 id assume. Great game as well by Larian.
Interesting that it didn’t gain similar notoriety then.
I think the Baldurs Gate name/brand carries a ton of weight still. Lots of people are nostalgic for it because it was a formative game of the 90s.

IMO it didn’t have an engaging start. The joke/parody concept also scratches s different itch.
I found that game wasn’t 8% as engaging or interesting to.me
As BG3? Its the same formula, just different lore and combat.
I just didn’t like it
