There's nothing about their description that really seems to link into Baldur's Gate at all. Unless they're saying that if you love Baldur's Gate 3, you'll love DnD. That's not groundbreaking information.

It more sounds like "If you liked Baldur's Gate 3, you should read this article… very very please" to me. 😂

I'm glad the title is not true, though. I do love Baldur's Gate 3, but Lost Mine of Phandelver was the first campaign I DM'd, it would have been a bit heartbreaking to me if The Shattered Obelisk was just a remake capitalizing on BG3 with a few references here and there. Phandalin deserves a full campaign, properly crafted. :)

Boy, you are dense.

It's no concidence shattered obelisk releases shortly after BG3. Same way descent into Avernus was supposed to release shortly before BG3 was announced.

Both of them have some minor lore ties into BG3. Descent into Avernus is the introduction to Etruiel and Archduke Ravengard, both are major lore parts of BG3.

Shattered obelisk has netherese artifacts and mindflayers. Both big parts of BG3.
