This is not a criticism - I love how much attention this game has been getting. I'm just not understanding why BG3 has been blowing up so much. 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). Traditionally crpgs have not lit the world on fire in this way. Is it just timing of the release? Is it a combo of Divinity fans and new D&D fans and Baldur's Gate oldheads all being stoked about this release for their own reasons? Or something else?

Note:I have not played it yet myself, just curious what folks think?

Vote with your wallet anyway. McDonalds sells a lot of burgers but few would say they are the best.

    As someone who has never liked Elvis, it's quite like the old "50 million Elvis fans can't be wrong!"

    Actually, pretty sure they can be. Also he co-opted his music style from the black community, so fuck him anyway.

    Should Elvis really be vilified for liking blues and rock music and playing it himself? How does that hurt anyone?

    Like should we be pissed at Django Reihnhardt? Or R.A The Rugged Man? What about Japanese bagpipe players?
