That seems like a good question.

I guess the marketing team did a really good job?

well, it's a damn good game

Yeesh, I'm a "Baldurs Gate Oldhead" XD man I'm getting old.

I could just cry at the fact that BG3 is download only. If they never release it hardcopy I will never be able to play it. Being out in the boonies. Even if they could just put what they can on a disc ya know?

Been looking for a good split screen to play with my gal, and yet what I'm sure is a masterpiece is out of reach.

There's also the Dark Alliance Oldheads, they don't need to be quite as old as me to have played those. Just replayed Dark Alliance II with my gal and it was well worth the heavy price tag for such an old title. Unlike the new Dark Alliance garbage. Which I bought to play split screen and it is not.

It seems like BG3 is getting more attention than all of Larian’s previous games combined (and maybe all of Obsidian’s recent crpgs as well).

Legendary brand name which the game actually lives up to.

It's good.

It's hype.

I hate tabletop RPGs, so I know no matter how good everyone says it is, I know it's not for me.

All of nonDD people, love the studio who made a great game without any of the bullshit we get fucked over in other genres... it shows it can be done, it can be great, and it can respect the player...

People throwing money at Dev as fuck you to EAs, Bethesdas etc

It's Minsc obviously

it fills a lot of inches to the point where it's unique but also approachable. reminds me a lot of dungeon and dragons mixed with dragon age/mass effect mixed with fire emblem
